#lemonbalm — Public Fediverse posts

Grow lemon balm in a cracked mug of soil on any sill that catches light. Pinch the leaves fresh, steep five minutes in hot water. A tea that costs the price of a single seed packet. There's a particular light in a kitchen where someone has decided their own jangled nerves are worth a homegrown cup. The steam rises.

So, we have #Catnip, #LemonBalm and #Thyme growing in our backyard -- and they seem to help keep the #ticks down. And the bees love them -- especially the catnip!

"Some plants naturally repel ticks thanks to their scent or texture, creating little buffer zones between your home and the areas ticks like to hang out.

Trimmed my lemon balm bush. What should I do with all of the leaves?

I have for the past few weeks been picking of the medium sized leaves to dry and store. But I've only desided to trimm the stalks today so I have loads.

Has anyone used lemonbalm in cooking before?

I am currently making syrup out of some.
