Bev,
The two plants I have are in the first year of growth, if I use those leaves 
will it grow more leaves in the spring and still be able to send up the 
stalk?  If you don't know I think I will try to do the 1st year leaves and 
see if it will come back in the spring.   I am trying to grow several in one 
spot where I have a bit of sun.  I love the way they look, very ornamental to 
me.  After you pick the leaves how do you dry then and how do you store them?

  I  I wild harvest it when I see a mature plant with large lower leaves. 
    They say to pick the leaves before the plants flower, but I pick them 
  whenever.  I'm probably losing some effectiveness, but it still works.
