Do I harvest in the am before they open up thier petals? After they open up their petals or does it make a difference? Looking forward to drinking my own tea!! What are some other uses for chamomile besides tea? grannymarsh Marquette, MI (Zone 5a) May 12, 2009 10:31 AM Post #6538469 A weak chamomile tea, cooled, will help prevent damping off in your seedlings. cando1 Ozone, AR (Zone 6a) May 13, 2009 04:00 AM Post #6542080 I harvested mine in the morning after the dew burned off.INJOY reddesertrose hereford, AZ (Zone 8a) May 13, 2009 07:43 PM Post #6545114 Thank you for replying grannymarsh and cando1.
