I agree. Mayorga is pretty darn good. I have purchased from it here:

How much beans and what's the investment? You know, in grow lights and stuff?

I just treated them like any other houseplant during the winter, sunny location and watered every other day, and put them outside in semi shade during the summer (that is when they really grow) They are pretty easy to grow. I am thinking of getting another few plants as I left mine behind when I moved a few years ago.

They can produce a lot of beans per plant (about 2 pounds). I had enough to last me the year drinking one to two pots a day. They produce beans throughout the year if the conditions are right. They are also a great looking houseplant with shiny dark green leaves and white flowers.

Use lots of fertilizer and water.

I grew tobacco (not wacky tobbacky) a few times. It was pretty easy to grow, you just have to start it indoors in Feb. and then transfer to the ground in April after the last frost. I also built a rig to dry it using a house hold oil heater and humidifier. I was going to make my own cigars! Making the stogey is the hardest part. (I needed to recruit some virgins to roll the cigars on their thighs):D

Tried bananas indoors but they plants died:(

Logees is a great place for strange plants.

I planted the Havana #608, Orinoco, and Walker's broadleaf seeds.
They worked well at the Jersey shore

Here is the rig I copied

It is fun growing your own. Plus if you get the burley and Virgina gold varieties you can make your own cigarettes.
