Growing Tobacco

   Alright, I do not think I need to go into a speech about how Tobacco is bad for us I am sure we are all aware of that, However I thought it would be neat to grow and the seeds where free so. The amazing thing is the flowers the plants produce. Besides a smoking product grinding the leaves once dried can be used as a natural insecticide and it works very well. See out page on dealing with Japanese beetles under the Viticulture tab. The plants below are a Florida Sumatra.
