hanks for the link. I will check it out.
Where I live, there is virtually no frost, and definitely no snow.
I am also looking for non-fussy plants, but since I live on the coast, different plants are fussy here. For example, I cannot grow rhubarb or cherries, but maybe that's good because I would probably make a lot more sweets then!
The plants don't seem to get very big, so I suppose you could probably take them indoors if you have a harsh winter--or you could build a green house--but it sounds a lot easier to just buy it at the store!
The lady at the plant store told me that her biggest problem with them was over-watering.
I think it probably takes a lot more fresh or dried stevia to equal the same sweetness of the store products. I will definitely check out that link now, thanks.
