My chamomile reseeds itself. So that is nice. Good luck with yours Heather. I do have a few things that I planted that are struggling to come up. Basil and Parsley to name two.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for some chamomile. I planted some seeds and they've had a heck of a time getting started.

Got my oregano and chamomile dried the other day. Nice to have my jars full again.

Sara - If you still have your plant maybe try adding a small fresh leaf to your cup with the tea bag for a minute or two. (or maybe try it with just some water so as to not ruin the tea if it doesn't work)
I have dehydrated some lavender and now I'm doing some cherries.

Thanks Dawn. The older I get the more I dislike sweets of any kind.

I use organic stevia packets in my lemon water and iced tea. I have gotten used to the slight aftertaste that Sara mentioned. I do like using it now and only a wee bit is needed when I make up my iced tea. Enjoy finding the best alternative to sugar that you will like.

Once again Sara, you and I have similar taster buds. I've grown stevia several times and just find it to be way too sweet, with a lingering aftertaste. It's a shame, because it is supposed to be a healthy alternative to sugar. |

Heather here's my personal take on stevia. I don't care for the sweet aftertaste. I read it was sweeter than sugar so I used 1/2 tsp of stevia to 16oz hot tea (I have my morning tea in a 16oz styro-foam cup) I prefer a China cup but then I would have to wash it, sorry about me rambling on but I do that sometimes. I'll do my best to finish this morning tea then it's back to raw sugar in my tea tomorrow morning. Oh, I'll see if my great niece wants my stevia plant.

I'm looking forward to your results Sara. I have some in my freezer I dried but I never figured out what to do with it!

Dawn I've never had stevia before so I'm planning on steeping it with my hot tea and straining it. I've got the cutest little strainer that goes over a cup, so I'll have fun playing with it.

Sara once you've dried the stevia do you just steep it in your tea?

Heather, happy to hear you are replenishing your alfalfa stash. I still enjoy alfalfa tea now & then.

Tara - I wish I was your neighbor :) I have plenty of oregano but my rosemary didn't survive the winter. My new little plant is tiny!

3 trays of oregano. I am cutting herbs every other day. I have mason jars about full, but keep preserving
I need to invite my neighbor over to cut some rosemary and oregano.
Today's good mood brought to you by a lot of coffee!!!

I'm getting ready to do some drying. I'm excited I planted celery for the first time this year. I was just going to freeze it, but the cream of celery soup sounds like a great idea to try!
