Thanks, Lois! This is great information....I'll be printing it out. Any ideas on when is best to harvest the leaves?

[gardnmom]

I couldn't find anything on harvesting the leaves, so I would begin harvesting a few as soon as they start and continue harvesting small amounts and drying them all summer, unless someone has more info.

[Guest Guest]

And then I could dry them to use in the winter, right? I can use them fresh in the summer, and dry in the fall/winter? Thanks again......
