My Tobacco Baby’s

May 29th, 2009 by Tim

Hey everyone,

This is our tobacco I planted it two weeks ago in the green house Thanks lori  for your help.  It is still small but I removed it from this and planed it in to there own planters.  We grow the tobacco in our site and we give it out to Native people who visit us at Plimoth Plantation as a gift its nice to give them it.  In the 17th  century we would of given food and water to people who came in to our homesite even a place to sleep,  even if we did not know them it was a custom of Native people to do that.   We cant do that today  because of  laws today so I grow the Tobacco and give that to them insead .  This is an old type of tobacco and it is not grown very much today.  I love to work in it and give it out to our Native guests today.  I will take pictures of it as it get’s bigger and blog about it over the next few months I hope you like what I post.  I will put it in to the ground in our site soon, I start it in the green house to make sure we get tobacco to give out.

This is were we will plant the seedling’s in this ring  when there bigger.  I have more than 200 plants to put here and I hope they do very well here.

Thanks

Tim
