STEVIA 

Guess what I got!?

 

Elford bought me a Stevia... well, actually: we were at a nursery and I saw it and he said "You want it?" The rest is elementary history.

 

However, I now have to get it growing bigger - already planted it out into a new, well composted bed and it's still alive. Once it's big enough I can start harvesting the leaves and use it in my cooking. They say it is 300 times sweeter than sugar, but has virtually no callories and ZERO impact on blood sugar levels. Perfect for diabetes!

I'm so excited I could sh... uhm... PLATZ!

Stevia, Cool, now you can use a leaf of stevia in your tea in stead of sugar

We use stevia in one of our chakra teas, it's a really great plant, I want to say good luck with it, but I doubt that you and your green fingers need any help... growing chamomile in our climate

 

PS: did you know it's a type of sunflower

Re: STEVIA 

Which one? The Stevia or the Chamomile? I would not be surprised if the Chamomile is a kind of Sunflower, but Stevia? Wow!

Time will tell if my green fingers will be able to keep the Stevia happy.

Re: STEVIA 

Actually it's the stevia that's a type of sunflower, amazing how plants can adapt.

Re: STEVIA 

Ah! Now that I would NEVER have said. ... on the other hand: the leaves are fairly soft and hairy like that of a sunflower.
