When to plant what safely?  I have always heard it was better to plant after the 10th of May due to the weather.

We also plant potatoes, onions, cabbage, lettuce and turnip greens earlier, like around good Friday.  Everything else later depending on weather.   I'm getting ready to set out an asparagus bed that probably should have been done last fall so I can fix your hubby fresh asparagus salad.

I am today.  Planting stevia, basil,rosemary, dill and cilantro.  Also more strawberries (hint: they have them on sale 1/2 price at Lowes in Bluefield va.  $1.24 per 4" pot)

How do you use the stevia?

Dry the leaves,  just lay them out in a pan till dry. (You can keep them dry in a paper bag till you have enough to run a batch through blender)   Put them in the blender  and blend till turns to powder.  Keep in powder forum till needed.  For beverages Mix powder about 1 cup water to 1/4 powder or less.  (then just use a a teaspoon of mixture  in drinks and go light till you know what you like)  keep mixture refrigerated till  ready to use in tea or whatever drinks you like.

The dry powder can be used in cooking, cereal etc,  anything you use sugar in.  But once again go light till you get used to it or it can be sorta super sweet or bitter. 

I'm used to it now and prefer it to sugar, especially in tea.

I'm living dangerously and set out two tomato plants today.  May have to cover them up a time or two or three but did it anyway.

I politely refuse to answer on the grounds it might incriminate me.

Same as you, but, I never could get by the bitter taste in the stevia. I thought I was doing something wrong.

To me,  it's not bitter if you don't mix it to strong.  Use about 1/4 or less what you would of regular sugar.  No doubt regular cane sugar is much better but if your trying to not use refined sugar I like stevia better than any other sweetener,  well except honey.
