The plants look excellent. Even the extras look great.

Your plants look great. I like your garden setup with the walking stones also. I hope you have a great season. I will enjoy following your grow this year as I did last year.

The Little Dutch is especially looking great! Like how they're coming along.
Just a little upgrade. I'm not satisfied with this year grow in my home garden. After more than month I found that many plants are struggling with the disease. I puled out few and replaced them with spares.
Where I mulch some plants with hay I have no good results.

As you can see I've made this year the net to fight against hail. I have made it in my tobacco field as well.

Here I have better results. Bolivia Criollo Black is the best producer and the plants are beautiful.

This is Black Sea Basma. Yellow color shows that something doesn't fit.

First I need to try once more to correct the pictures.

Other than the Basma, they all look healthy and growing well.
You probably won't get hail for years. Next year, you can make the screens out of metal, just in case of lightning. A tobacco Faraday cage. You want it to be you that smokes the tobacco.

Today I have checked my tobacco field again. I found many plants at bad condition so I puled them out. If this is TEV virus I do not know what cause it or where is the problem. Seeds?, Soil?, bugs???
The only good think is that Bolivia Criollo black is amazing.

TEV is transmitted by bugs (aphids) from surrounding weeds and other solanaceous vegetation. It doesn't seem to spread from tobacco plant to tobacco plant. If acquired after the plant is at least a good size, TEV hardly spreads from one affected leaf to the others on the same plant.

Actually I found some information about Bucak earlier but it came into my mind when I saw your photo.
First flue-cured varieties was introduced in 1938. They were Bonanza, Jamaika, Adcock, Gold Leaf, Warne, Yellow Oranaca, Wfite Sitem Oranaca, Gold Dollar, Garsh, Hickory, Pryor, Virginia Bright (I wrote them how they're spelled in old documents with incorrections).
Correct spellings might be; Bonanza, Jamaica Wrapper, Adcock, Gold Leaf, Warne, Yellow Orinoco, White Stem Orinoco, Gold Dollar, Garsh, Hickory Pryor, Virginia Bright Leaf.
I've heard all of them before except Adcock, Warne, Gold Leaf and Garsh. There're accessions of Adcock, Garsh and Gold Leaf on GRIN but there's nothing about Warne.
Among these FC varieties Bonanza was found adequate for production but other varieties were also grown.
In 1953, 17 new FC types was introduced, one of them was Dixie Bright 101 which was found adequate for production. I have no idea about the other 16 but all of them were grown by farmers.
In 1965 Burley varieties were intorduced - varieties unknown but Burley 21 may be still grown.
All of these varieties were grown in the same county. Even farmers grew them together without isolation. So, Bucak is mostly mutated and unintentionally hybridized (with all above) Dixie Bright 101.
Modern studies say that it's genetically pretty much like Dixie Bright 101 but I never saw a photo of Dixie Bright 101 to compare it with Bucak. GRIN's image (http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/dispimage.pl?357062) is hard for a comparison.
Addendum ;
1- I found this in an old book.
2- About Warne, this document ( http://tobaccodocuments.org/pm/2060457985-7991.html) says that it's a strain of Orinoco (a farmer selection).
The interesting side of this document is showing breeding pedigree informations of too many varieties.

Have fun and be safe.
Thanks for checking in with us you crazy Slovenian. I was about to send out a search party for you, I thought you had gotten lost somewhere. I hope you enjoy your vacation. Will you be able to find Teachers in Spain?
