You’ve done it again. Mel and you are quite a team. Last frost date is important because it’s needed to determine when to start a seed indoors. Add 6-8 weeks to the germination time of the seed and then determine when the plant can be planted. (# of weeks before or after frost date) Then get a calendar and count back from those dates. It’s easy and fun…….try some!
February is a good time to start tomatoes and peppers indoors, and any plant that you plan on growing in pots. Many plants don’t transplant well, but most seed packets will tell you (in the instructions) if you can start indoors or have to direct seed.
Neven01, if you go to a website called (w w w . stevia . com), it is the official stevia website with amazingly detailed information, recipes, stevia products as well as a listing of suppliers for seed.

Patty! thank you for the general response to my inquiry.
I understand you probably get quite a few inquiries and answering them all at once generally with a video was genius
To anyone else that knows gardening and can answer a pointed question for me I would appreciate it
When is a good time to plant Stevia and where if anywhere would i purchase seeds? i can not locate even a mail order seed supplier for it.
FDA does not outlaw it but its difficult to locate seeds for it.

Very nicely done, as always… these are all very good tips. I’m so glad you went into seed storage requirements. I’ve learned something from this video… and THAT makes me so happy!
This is so cool and amazing. Thanks!

Thanks. And is it necessary to use a grow lamp and heating pad, or will they thrive in my bedroom?
