Nah, that's the stuff she takes right before she twerks or mounts her wrecking ball.

OK thanks. Was wondering how it would do in the northern climates [ zone 5]. If I can't get the seeds to germinate this winter [ Key West] maybe I'll buy plants once back north.

Thanks, I find the comments hopefully helpful. We'll see how this works out.

For years I've been trying to substitute honey for sugar, just want to try stevia and see how it works out.

That looks like great info, Thanks. Surface sowing, that makes sense. That may be why so many have germination trouble.
