My own lemon balm is self seeding everywhere and growing big as we speak.
Soo nice! Ours hasn't grown as much as I expected and hoped but it is doing rather ok. Hopefully it will get bigger and bigger and will cover the whole area by springtime :)
I definitely prefer it fresh, but since I wanted to give it to friends and family, I had to dry it. Plus, the idea of this herb garden is maybe sometime to sell the herbs, so drying is inevitable. I have dried so many different plants, but have never seen something as delicate as this one!
Good for herpes, yes, I remember your post about Jamie (and how well prepared you were, haha!). It is a powerful herb for skin issues.
Glad you enjoyed it! While it was not fun at all when it was happening, now that the time has passed I find it funny as I remember my panic :) Fails are also welcome :)
Excited about the revival too!
Haha things are always funny in retrospect! And I always dry fresh lemon balm for teas, especially when I mix it. I forgot that I wrote about it!
