Planting tobacco wild in the UK to counter anti-tobacco zealotry.

Good idea? bad idea?

Personally i'm quite interested in guerilla gardening... the Roman's planted our sweet chestnuts here... we could maybe plant wild tobacco.

I like it! I've done some guerilla gardening around my patch before - pumpkins and sunflowers mainly - love the way it must make a few people smile as they walk past. With tobacco - I doubt anyone would know what it was!

I dont think it would work just sprinkling a few seeds here and there but I'd say if you can all raise some seedlings of the Rustica variety to a few inches high then from my experience growing it then it would survive as a weed quite happily here in the UK. It also self-seeds itself like a bastard I've heard.

I'm hoping my Rustica plants I've left to go to seed end up making some. Then if it's not entirely a joke I can send some around.

hehe SJ... yes i was thinking of raising them at home before re-planting them. Would be cool i think.
