Sweet stuff.

All season I have been picking stems from my stevia plant and letting them dry out. Next year I will buy as many stevia plants as a can afford---or about 8, whichever comes first. While my mint went on to spread it's mass across the north corner of the east bed, the stevia remained two little stalks that grew taller, but didn't explode in fruitfulness like I was hoping.

So there's all the stevia I grew, dry in a cup. And my "bedpost" pestle from the thrift store. And a cereal bowl.

I ground it all into powder. Now I have a half a teeny jar of stevia powder. Next stop: sugar free cookies.
