"I sewed the seeds just sprinkling them on top the soil"
While that can work, it's not always successful. What happened was your tobacco seeds did not germinate and the weeds took over. Tobacco seeds need to be germinated in a warm, moist place and usually not transplanted until they are around 6-8 weeks old. Nice looking apples though! :)
@SunnyDay, this weed looks familiar to me, but I don't know it's name.
Have you tried making snuff from your 2018 tobacco crop?
@Cobguy, some fast maturing and frost resistant rustica (and tobacco) varieties perform good as self-seeders even in far northern latitudes. I've succesfully grown baccy in that manner for some years at 55N. Leaving some flowering plants untopped does it. It even spreads like a weed, migrating to neighbouring gardens. It used to be grown like that in European regions with colder climate, Germany including (small scale growing for own needs only). If they like the soil, they are stayers :)
@SunnyDay, smoke of pure rustica leaves can be almost suffocating, though it turns relatively lung-friendlier, mixed with crushed stems (that's a common practice among Russian growers). Untopped plants contain less nicotine. Green varieties are stronger than yellow. Surely, one can simply cut it with any weak tobacco, too.
wait are you saying you smoked that weird alien plant? I hope not. That's the kind of thing that could sometimes be really bad. Sorry I just hope you didn't and at least found out a little bit about it before experimenting.
@SunnyDay, I found both plants on my daily routes. The first one (''alien rustica'') is really abundant one, there are loads of them throughout Vilnius city and on the roadsides. Still, even elder acquaintances of mine don't know its name. Obviously, it's a feral weed, not a cultivar.
I noticed the second one (pokeweed) lying cut on the ground near the fence of some living house. I have read that the juice of pokeweed berries can be used as ink, so I explored them a bit, crushing one between my fingers. Indeed, a very nice magenta colour! However, this ink reportedly turns brown fast and is prone to fading.
is that normal ? ole faithful going hard this year, the tree is older than me and got cut down at one point to stump but regrew from it :x it has holes and is almost hollow inside i dunno how it pulls that off
This topic should be redirected over to gardening thread.... I see these same weeds I do believe in spring/summer in my neighbors 40. I can ask him what they are and report back. Was curious as to how invasive and asked him awhile back but can't remember what he called it....
