The Site Administrator is away for the next week for a bit of rest and recuperation in sunny Spain, so we’ll finish the week on a cheerful note.
Readers might remember this pic:
That was taken about 18th January, shortly after the seeds had germinated.
And then we had this pic:
Which shows the seedlings after they have been thinned out.
But now we have this pic:
Since then, I have built up the compost around the seedlings and they are growing beautifully.
It is of the greatest importance to understand that we have, accidentally, or otherwise, found a way to produce the most delicious tasting cigarettes. The essential steps are:
1. Accept the dictats of your soil.
2. Ensure that your leaves are fully cured (equals turning starches into sugars).
3. Because your produce will be ‘intense’, cut it with either cigarette tobacco, rolling tobacco or whole leaf tobacco.
4. Flavour and moisturise your stuff with orange peel.
5. Use your intelligence.

And so one shall be absent for a while. Also, totally ‘incommunicado’.
Bon soir.
