Last year I moved into a brand new house with no yard. For me, this didn't exactly scream "Put in a lawn!"... really, I saw gardening potential.

About a third of my yard has just been devoted to the garden patch. So far, I have cleared a large area of weeds and got down to dig all of the roots out (about a foot deep). I have added large amounts of dairy compost and Happy Frog organic fertilizer (the recommended amount). To this, I have added humic acid, perlite, and vermiculite.

My soil was basically a layer of sand with clay a little deeper before. Needles to say, the perlite/ vermiculite will break this up nicely but also help the sandy soil retain some water. Humic acid will make the roots grow in nicely. The soil looks and feels excellent at this point.

Next weekend, I plan on planting for an excellent harvest:

-A large potato mound
-Six tomato plants (four roma, two cherry)
-Six pepper plants (Four Jalapeno, two red bell)
-A cucumber mound
-Six bean plants (yellow wax, I just love them!)
-Four Pea Plants
-Chamomile
-Lemon Balm
-Peppermint
-Spearmint
-Dill
-Cilantro
-A row of corn
-About 30 Icicle Radishes

After the Icicle Radishes finish (30 days), I will transplant some tobbacco plants I have growing inside into their spot. I have a Colonial Spanish strain for cigars and a Native American blend to use "ritualistically" (probably for spliffs). I am very excited about the Native American one, as it is supposed to be VERY powerful. All of this will be organic and delicious of course

In fact passing out would be the most benign thing that could happen. There was a family that had a farm and they grew some tobacco plants. The mother went in to the field to pick some greens for a salad. Well she got some greens alright along with some raw tobacco. She mixed it in to the salad and every one ate it. Guess what happened?? They all Died from nicotine poisoning. There are some strains of tobacco so strong that there actually illegal to grow and posses because there hallucinogenic and quite poisonous.

Damn. I will try to be careful.

Where can you find info about growing your own cigarette tobacco? Are people doing this? I usually smoke non-filter american spirit or I buy a can of it for $21. At least until a few weeks ago when CA started taxing loose leaf tobacco $30 on the lb. So now my american spirit roll your own costs almost $40 a can for 200 cigs. In sac a pouch of nasty ass top goes for over $5. Insane. What ever happened to smokers rights? If the government doesnt have a problem with the country being obese and unhealthy and infact condones it, why cant I smoke to my hearts content?

Good luck with the tobacco, I just bought a couple handful's of seeds offline yesterday to take a shot at rolling my own cigars. they'll probably won't turn out too well, but its an experiment. and once again good luck

Here is my coffee plant. I will load a picture of the tobacco plants in about a month. The seeds are still in the mail. In the mean time, I have also uploaded a picture of the Nicatiana rustica, the Native American tobacco.

Good point. You know, I got 800 seeds for $8ish plus shipping. Here are the URLs I used:

This is where I found the Native American stuff:
http://www.victoryseeds.com/tobacco/


This is where I found the Spanish cigar stuff:
http://www.newhopeseed.com/tobacco/varieties.htm

From what I read though, if you are a daily smoker you should not get the Native American tobacco. It is more for occasional use being that it is 6% or so niccotine by volume while store brand is 1%. However, home grown heirloom plants like in the second link tend to be about 3%
