    Hello all--Just like everyone else here,I'm into gardening and growing green things and am probably more clumsy at it than anything else.It's mostly trial and error with me.I grow patchouli herb plants from seeds on a plot of land I own upstate and do the harvesting and drying of the seeds myself.I'm always looking for new and better ways to raise plants and hope to get some good ideas here.The soil in the city isn't too healthy so I also do some indoor gardening which at times is a challenge. Thanks for having me!

    Hi SpeckledHen, welcome to GardenStew from north Texas.

    I love Patchouli but it seems to be a bit picky down here. Do you grow them for seed or do you use the leaves in some way?

    Welcome from coastal NC, Speckledhen. can Patchouli be grown as a houseplant? I grew up in upstate NY and it has a special place in my heart. Glad you've joined us.
