I cut my chamomile this weekend. I have a patch of it by the pool, but it gets weedy-looking and Mom wanted to neaten things up before the big 4th of July party. So I cut it--which it needed badly any way. I cut the stalks, since she wanted to get rid of the plants themselves, but then I cut the flower heads off. I transported them back home and dried them for about a week on the food dehydrator. I love chamomile tea for evenings when you need to unwind a bit. I have asked for a chamomile rake for my birthday--it is a hand-held tool with teeth to pull off the heads and a basket to catch them. Would be a lot easier than cutting each one individually!
