Hi Lisa Marie....
I'm going to try this method using the fresh tomato leaves. Sometimes
drying can change a leaf's chemical make-up and I'm thinking that, perhaps,
using fresh leaves might be the best way to do it. You could, however, try
it both ways.
Here in Ohio it's spring and there will be plenty of tomato leaves soon
enough. Most garden centers around here already have huge tomato plants for
sale. I'll wait until my tomato plants are larger and out in the garden, but
it is another option...to buy a larger plant just for it's leaves.
