Hi to all the ferret loved and all who love ferrets.
 
Before there becomes a long debate on the pros and cons of stevia, please
look up some sites on the net and learn a little about the herb.
 
The following are just a wee few;

There is heaps of info on the net but doesn't seem to be too much in the
Herb Books.Ive got about 8 herbal bks and none of them list stevia.  The
only place I saw it listed was in a Herb Catalogue called "The Fragrant
Garden" bought out by "Oranga Plants, 60 Port Street East, Feilding, New
Zealand.  Ph (06) 323 4233.  I presume this nursery is still operating
as the catalogue is a couple years old.  I did get hold of some plants at
one stage and yes it is VERY sweet.  Alas they died on me.Strangled or
dehydrated I think.  This was about the time I was fostering ten year old
children and the garden became a last or should I say LOST priority.  I
now settle for fostering Ferrets.  A lot less stressful and much too easy
to fall in love with.
