Greetings interwebs,
CLMI04 pointed me this direction, so you may blame him for
burdening you with my company :)
I'm about a year out from my first purchase (VZ.24) and am
slowly getting a handle on the milsurp world. The most modern
weapon I own is a surplus Tokarev TTC. The rifles, other than
the Mauser, that I own are a 91/30 Mosin-Nagant and an Arisaka
Type 99.
Arbitrary List:
[list type=decimal]
[li]I am a professional geek (Database Administrator/C#
Developer).[/li]
[li]I've started growing tobacco for fun[/li]
[li]I periodically ferment and bottle apple cider[/li]
[/list]
I have some small idea of how little I know, and I look forward
to learning more.
Danke,
-DEB

Welcome aboard. How do you grow your own tobacco? Seems like
it's a little too cold up my wait (West Central Wisconsin).

I start from seeds in mid-February under a grow-light in my
office (I keep my house around 60F, which is below the ideal
temp). People got used to tobacco in my cubical pretty quickly.
Once they've got leaves about 2in. long I transplant the
stronger ones to larger pots, and once the ground is warm I
plant them outside. This is only my second season, so I hope to
build a shed to properly cure it this year. It is definitely a
resource intensive plant, the big trick to growing it is keeping
the caterpillars off of them. We'll see how curing goes.
