After a year off we are planning on getting back into growing usefull stuff this coming year. To this end the middle son has dug over more than half the top back garden and we will soon be getting some well rotted manure t dig in to break down over the winter.
One of the things we would like to try is growing some tobaco plants. There's plenty of sources for seeds and plants on the interweb but we are rather spoiled for choice. Could anyone recommend strains, if that's the right term, which would be suitable for up here in Penine Lancashire that we could air cure into something suitable for the pipe?
Over the winter herself will be taking some cuttings to thicken up the fruit hedge which is the one thing that has done well over the last year. We'll also get another Dozen or so hedging plants to replace the odd loss we have had. Could anyone recomend a native species that does well in the shade as there's a gap under some existing old hawthorns I awnt to fill.
