Hi Maria, welcome back,
MVR>be end of this month available.  It seems that that kind of Stevia 
oesn't
MVR>make so quickly roots and the more in our climat it should not be growing
MVR>really well during the first year(s). I'll try to get a plant as soon as 

MVR>can get some.
  I find Stevia a little trickier than I was led to expect by people
  in the southern USA. Down there the weather is hot enough and humid
  enough that cuttings root without effort. They can't even throw down
  weeds that they've pulled out or the weeds root again! :-)
  Keeping that in mind, I have had my most success with rooting Stevia
  cuttings in warm weather, or in the fall after the furnace comes on.
  They resent fluctuating temperatures.
MVR>As soon as I get a plant, I will also try to use it.  Hope it will be 
ine
MVR>for use in my diabetic diet.
  So far, Maria, unlike either sugar or Aspartame, Stevia has not
  produced any noteworthy side effects. Eventually, of course, someone
  allergic to anything and everything will show a reaction, which will
  immediately be pounced on by the Sugar and Aspartame lobbies to
  "prove" it is unsafe.
MVR>ws> IMHO, to "the little blue packet", and the
MVR>that means "lobbiests"???
  A lobby is a special interest group that continually harasses members
  of the government for benefits and protective tariffs for their
  specialty. Some are so subtle that they work behind the scenes with
  bribes, but all continually bombard the powerful lawmakers with
  petitions, pleas, biased literature, movies, fundraisers, etc.
  Brigitte Bardot and her animal crusades are an example of a lobbyest
  at work. :-)
   The little blue packages are, presumably, artificial sweeteners.
   (Ours are pink. :-)
                       ...Sandra...
