Helpful Herbs~ Lemon Balm

I love lemony herbs... Lemon Balm is a favorite of mine. 

Mountain Rose Herbs has a great article here.  The recipes sound delicious- Corn Fritters with Lemon Pesto...MMMmmm...

My Lemon Balm did not survive our weird weather this year.  I think I will definitely plant more soon...  It grows easily from seed; in fact, Sarah grew ours as a project in her Apologia Botany studies. 

Enjoy the Mountain Rose Herbs article. Don't forget to make yourself as cup of tea first!

I love lemon balm, it smells good enough to put in soaps or lotions or something. I use a leaf in my sweet tea, I've dried it and used in chicken recipes too.

I have TONS of lemon balm. I did not plant it. It is just growing wild along my fence. And I have no idea what to do with it!! Sure smells good.
