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.
