Melissa officinalis

Lemon balm take a over fast I have it in my veggie garden I knew that I wanted a lot of it but didn't want it taking over so I drilled holes in the bottom of a 10 gallon tote and grew it in the tote and now it owns that tote!

@columbiariver I use it in green tea and make a mosquito repellent with it ..I bake chicken and fish with my lemon grass and have thought about using it that way but haven't yet because it does have a different taste than lemon grass

@columbiariver I have a house full of girls lol estrogen runs my house i tell my son all the time he will make a wonderful husband from having a house full of sisters..my youngest daughter is 11 and is autistic..she will eat anything from my garden but will not eat the same foods from a grocery store many autistic children are also super tasters which she is and if I try to sneak in a grocery store fresh vegetable she automatically rejects

I make pesto with it. Let me know if you find other good recipes!
