| Lemon Balm |
I began my investigations into what is growing in our yard when a large section of the backyard was teeming with one particular plant. I hadn't noticed it before as the dog pen was set up in the area where this plant was now flourishing. Since the dog pen was moved, the plants now had a more suitable environment in which to grow. The area had not been mowed in a while so the greenery was allowed to run it's course. To my pleasant surprise, it's a useful herb that is happily abundant! Lemon balm! A member of the mint family, this gorgeous patch of green is a natural mosquito repellent and can be brewed into tea or used as a seasoning. What awesome luck! And, bonus, I didn't have to plant it myself.😁🍀
