Boy, you got that right. They keep inviting their friends, family, and neighbors over here. I looked yesterday and I'm infested again. Been spraying soap all along. I don't know where they came from. I'm getting some of that there Orthene next time I go to town. I know I'll have to go before Sept. to get some grass and clover seed.

 

[Brown Thumb]

I am headed to the patch with Bt I got a few plants I have to harvest some aphids from also.

 

[grgfinney]

Got 15 sticks up now, may need to put a leanto on the leanto only got room for 3 more full 8ft sticks then maybe 9 5footers rh gets down in the 45 range in the day with temps in the 90s, 90 to 95 range rh at night temps 50 to 60 I checked the leaves today no mold I also have 2 fans running 24/7 circulating the air top to bottom

I hope these hurry up and dry soon, I am going to have a whole lot of baccy to pick very soon

 

[Mad Oshea]

Looks like You are going to do an over tarp soon to finnish the rest. LOL . Do You have a nice over hang on the house (eve) to use?

 

[grgfinney]

No only about a ft and a half , once they dry some I might have to move the sticks closer together by putting 2x4's between the studs that are 2ft on center

 

[DGBAMA]

Wow, Greg, looks like you will need more space. Congrats.

I cut my seedheads when about half the pods were brown last year, some less; due to threat of frost. Hung them indoors to finish drying, worked just fine.

 

[grgfinney]

I found room for 5 more sticks then its full, today's pickins, big gem, african red , yellow orinoco, juputer burley

 

[Brown Thumb]

Nice Pile Greg. If the leaf is dry and the stem is not you could always destem them and let them finish air drying in a box.

 

[grgfinney]

Might as well fill it all the way up picked tuscova, ottoman, bursa

This little guy trying to get some nectar through the bud bag, my avatar is the only swallow tail I've ever seen here in 20 years

 

[Knucklehead]

That's a hell of a harvest. I guess that's called making hay while the sun shines. Best of luck.

 

[Rickey60]

Your having a great harvest so far. Love the pictures. I think I saw a swallow tail a few days ago.

 

[Mad Oshea]

Greg, You haven't started to harvest yet buddy! Now what? WAAAA!
