A box of 20 pure chamomile tea bags has 30 grams (1 oz.) of tea and so far my dried chamomile weighs 60 grams (2 oz.) and I hope to get about another ounce of dried blossoms.

The leaf miner eggs are visible, usually on the backs of the leaves, little white things laid in clusters. If you have the time you can rub them off. And you're doing the right thing by throwing out the infected leaves, the leaf miners drop out of the leaves and pupate in the soil, so Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-19188187305625635132010-07-19T17:43:07.962-07:002010-07-19T17:43:07.962-07:00Beautiful chamomile photograph.
