First time grower. I don’t have the requisite indoor time to let seeds germinate and sprout indoors, but I do have an abundance of seeds and a nice spot of soil in a sunny area. I’m in traditional tobacco country in central Virginia, zone 7a.

Does anyone have experience with direct sowing the seeds outdoors instead of germinating them indoor first?

I know it’s better to start them indoors. I’m not too concerned with yield rate, just wanting a couple plants to make it out of a few bags of seeds as a test run. Varietals on hand are Virginia gold and Samsun.

Any ideas on how to make this work?
