I find it interesting that the tobacco you plant in June is heavier than that planted earlier. With flue-cured ,it tends to be the opposite. The older generation would think the middle of May was the right time, but I prefer as early as possible with the later maturing varieties that we have now. I always liked to plant mine the last week of April. Later tobacco here is more prone to insect problems. It will put on more leaves, and it will grow taller, but not have more weight. More leaves to handle means more work. If it is topped down to low to compensate, it won't thicken up enough to make the weight.
