Re: I am now growing Stevia

They will taste sweet right now, so you could taste one and see how sweet it is

or use it in a cup of tea. You could clip leaves and branches off like you did

with your basil plant last year. When you are the producer you have to see what

works best for you and manage your production to best fit in with your needs. I

bet you could not imagine the horticultural education you would end up with when

you joined this group.

(blossoms too?). Then I do the dehydrating and powder.
