loginThe return of the tobacco plant. This plant (a glorified weed, I guess you could call it) returns every spring. I call it a tobacco plant because as kids, we would take the dried seeds from similar looking weeds, wrap them in a piece of paper and try to smoke them like a cigarette. Thankfully, the highly acidic smoke would cause us to back off before taking a puff. I'm fond of the plant though, and allow it to grow to it's full length, which is about three or four feet. Right now it's about ankle high. Perhaps this year I will get my Weeds of the West book off the shelf and find out what it's really called.
