Hi all, I've already been enjoying the posts here, but thought maybe I should introduce myself. I was never into gardening before this spring, but while I was thinking of all my smoking friends and the large sums of money they must be losing to their habits, a question came to mind: Would it be legal to grow your own tobacco? Prompted by that question, I discovered all kinds of people doing just that, through youtube and forums like this one. I've finally found something to get excited about, and that's from someone who'd never given a second thought to gardening. But I can honestly say I've caught the bug, now, and its all due to discovering how interesting tobacco is! So, I've gotten off to a really late start, but decided to go ahead and send away for a few packets of seeds. I've just transplanted my seedlings into two-inch soil blocks and they seem to really be taking off. I'm growing Burley TN90 and Burley 21, Virginia Gold, a couple types of Rustica for fun as well some flowering mix of tobaccos, and then I've got some Black sea Samsun. I think I have way more than what I'll have room for in my tiny garden plot. Can anyone tell me about the legality or permits I might need to sell tobacco seedlings next year? I looked everywhere I could think of, this year, and couldn't find a single source for living plants. I've got other questions, but I'll think them through and put one or two into their own threads.
