Herbs: Stevia: do you grow it?, 1 by evelyn_inthegarden

Last year I planted some stevia, as I mentioned before. I went to clean out that bed, which is a raised 4'X4' bed, in sun for most of the day. I had 5 plants overwinter there, as I was hoping when I left them in the ground. During the winter we had a few days of 17° weather after a big snow storm where we lost power for 4 days. I was quite surprised to see the green rosettes just forming, yesterday, as our weather has been quite unsettled, to say the least.

We had snow on March 31st, April 5th, 12th, and 20th, and they are predicting that today's rain storm may produce snow in the overnight hours. Has everyone put out their tender annual herbs? I am raising some tomatoes and basil, and have brought them out during most days, except for stormy days... in between the storms we have had a variety of weather ranging from 40° to 75°, as some of my seedlings on the back porch on shelves were dry when we got home...

This picture is from the 20th....


Waiting for spring....
