Harvesting Tobacco

We’ve just harvested our first tobacco for the season. The first photo shows the tobacco patch. In the second photo, Cheyenne is washing any dirt and debris off of the plants. In the third photo, Shericka is tying the tobacco so that we can hang it up to dry in our isolation room. Cheyenne and Shericka are holding up the finished string for drying. This is just a small amount of tobacco we have growing this year. Harvesting this tobacco will also give some of the smaller tobacco in the patch room to grow so that we have larger plants with bigger leaves.
