Whoever you are (was it Ritchy?), I'm sorry - against your advice and my own better judgement, I have planted some in my herb bed.

Tin hat on...  :D

Oh my Lemon Balm is doing excellent and so is our Nastyuriums. :) I planted them for the cattypillars to feed the hedgehog visitors we get in the garden. :)

I hate lemon balm with a vengeance.  It gets everywhere if you just take your eye off it for one minute.  Here's one of around a hundred new plants. ::)

Cheese makes everything better.

We have a winner!

Now I remember... it was Ice!  :D

I know, I'll come to regret it, but it's just so fragrant and tasty...

we have lemon balm and lemon balm and  lemon b........in fact its everywhere in our back garden but I have to say great under the shade of next doors huge tree wher the only other thing to grow is lovage and woodruff and the odd bramble or two. I  use it to fragrance the wheelie bin in the summer a chopped handful now and then on top of the rubbish is all it needs.

It's invaded the base of one of our hedges at work, and swamped all the other little plants like violets that use to grow there  :tongue2: :tongue2: :tongue2: :tongue2:
