No, but it’s difficult in some areas and the green leaves can kill you by nicotine poisoning. You can buy seeds and get instructions at http://coffinails.com/

I am pretty sure that if you are not selling it then the Gov will care less…

Square Foot Gardening…get the book at the library. Makes gardening simple.

While you are there, ask the librarian for any resources they may have for gardening in your area. I just left my library with a few brochures.

GardenersCardiff answers:

I have basil, oregano, sage, thyme and rosemary growing in inside window boxes. And frankly don't pay much attention to them. They might get watered twice a week or not. Point is once you get them going, mine were started from greenhouse sprouts, the damn things grow like weeds.

GardenersCardiff answers:

Yes legal. In fact i had some about christmas that a local guy grew. He needs to work on the curing process, but it is legal to grow, however not to sell. You would need a tax stamp for that and that may be difficult. Farmers do grow it evey year in several states.

Just about any seed catalogue can offer you tobacco seeds at a cheap price. Growing the tobacco itself doesn’t help much, even if you can grow it without the blights tobacco in itself is subjective to. It’s all in the curing of it that comes part and parcel of the deal. It’s certainly legal to grow your own tobacco, which I find curious as cannabis (aka marijuana) is in itself an indigenous herb grown in the “wild” but still remains prohibitive according to the the FDA regs. I’ve grown my own tobacco and even gone so far as to try and cure it on my own via text-book directions, but it’s always ended up being non-smokeable. Unless you really like that lung-burning and raw sensation. If you’re able to connect with people “in the know”, I’d say either give it up or just pay the price.

My son is 2.5 and he has always been in a little bigger size than his age (I think most are). He has really long arms so his shirts are 4T and 5T, his jeans are currently 4T but he has some 4T that he can still wear. I am miffed by the guidelines they make children’s clothes with. Some brands I need a huge size and others he can wear 3T. Just last night he picked out some pj’s to wear that I have not had a chance to throw out yet. They are 24 months, a shirt and pants (the tight kind) and he fit right into them.

I do a lot of consignment shopping and also get him clothes off Ebay. You can buy lots of nearly new clothing (brand name) for ridiculously low prices. We are constantly getting some with the tags still attached. Other than that I like to buy Gar-animal clothing (Wal Mart) because he can wreck them and it’s not a big deal. It’s about $3/each for a shirt and pants.

GardenersCardiff answers:

I have some banana trees. I do not live in a tropical climate, I live near the Mississippi River in the upper midwest.
You grow them from trees. The trees shoot up new trees when they are about two years old. You can separate the new baby trees from the roots of the bigger trees to grow separately. They do not have seeds.

We take our banana trees outside in April where we plant them in sand and full sun. At about age five, they will drop a long rope with a beautifully sweet-smelling flower on the end of it. Small four inch bananas then form on the top of the plant that grow upward not down like you see them in the stores. After having bananas the big tree dies. By that time it is about ten feet tall or more.

Each fall in mid October, we dig up each tree, cut off all the leaves and wrap the roots in a garbage bag then haul them to the basement. They winter there where we dribble water on each rootball about three times during the winter. In spring we take them back out where they sprout new leaves and grow.

I accidentally killed some of them last year by fertilizing them. So just for reference, do not fertilize. Just let them grow. They are sturdy, hardy plants. And when you get rewarded with a flowering tree you feel wonderful. Their scent is beautiful.

In my country Hungary most people who have a garden grow some vegetables and have fruit trees.We have them too.It’s a very useful hobby but for people who have low income it’s a way of survival.
We don’t use chemicals but my greatgrandma used a lot and it sometimes made everybody run to the toilet like crazy.lol
Our vegetables and fruit are good tasting but we’ve gotta watch what to plant and when we trim the trees.One apricot tree has died cause I trimmed it when the weather was getting warm and I didn’t put tree-cream on the wounds only a day later and it died of Monilia, so gotta be careful with the timing and do the work properly when doing biogarden.

GardenersCardiff answers:

No, it is not illegal to grow your own tobacco in the US, especially for personal use. The link provided has more information.

GardenersCardiff answers:

Sure, you can grow your own tobacco anywhere you want to.

You just have to follow federal law if you intend to sell it.

You can get seeds at the farmer’s co-op.
