Howdy from Austin! Where 'bouts are ya? I don't have any problems. My advice is to plant early to avoid the worst heat of late summer. Are you rolling ciggies or cigars?

Lots of good info in the FAQ and Key Forum Threads. We have a lot of fun here.

Look up the average last frost date for your area and calculate back 8 weeks. That's when you should start your seeds indoors. Once established they can take the summer heat if given water when needed. I just don't like to work in it!

 

[texbiker]

I agree about working in the heat. 20 yrs construction along the gulf coast. Just wondering if the plants can handle 100+ at the end of their cycle.

 

[GreenDragon]

We regularly hit in the 110's+ here in the summer. My cigar varieties handled it fine. You may get a few sunburned edges or spots, but otherwise OK. They will wilt pretty dramatically in the late afternoon, but will spring back by late evening.
