I've read that some people pinch off the leaves (like we've done), and others cut off the entire plant (like we accidentally did). You dry the leaves outside or somewhere with excellent air flow, and then you can store the dry leaves or you can grind it into powder.<BR/><BR/>That's what I've read. I'm going to try it and see what happens! <BR/><BR/>Thanks for visiting!DP Nguyenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13729511776841579464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411587390928773196.post-87291047387154699192008-05-29T12:04:00.000-05:002008-05-29T12:04:00.000-05:00Dp,Wow, you have an impressive amount of produce a...Dp,<BR/><BR/>Wow, you have an impressive amount of <BR/>produce and plants producing. I'm with Frances better you eat the strawberry than a bird...when I did grow tomatoes some creature would come by just before it was time to pick them and take one bite out of each one!<BR/><BR/>I use stewvia from the little packets! How do you harvest it and then use it?<BR/><BR/>Gail<BR/>Clay and limestoneGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194325535496408116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411587390928773196.post-17761094212878695802008-05-29T06:46:00.000-05:002008-05-29T06:46:00.000-05:00On no!

It cannot be eaten all at once, as you say, so start harvest now! Your strawberry was perfect for picking too, once they turn red, they don't get any larger, might as well beat the birds to them. Your boysenberries look just like my raspberries, they are starting to turn also. This is our first year with them so we don't know how to prune them either. I will check to see if someone leaves you a comment on that so I can learn too. Maybe your stevia will root, it looks promising, good luck with that.<BR/>Frances at Faire GardenFrances,https://www.blogger.com/profile/03616568389165362993noreply@blogger.com
