RE: Tobacco Planting

There's a lot of history in those tiny seeds! Thank you for sharing the growing experience, tobacco would be fun to grow. Tobacco leaves were used as money at one time, so you could be growing a 'money tree'... literally! @ironshield

I had no idea they used it for money. Maybe something we should look at today? Thank you for sharing!

From 1642 to 1727... almost 100 years of tobacco money! If they had a pipe, they literally burned their money. @ironshield
