Lemon Balm

As I was weeding the back of the garden, which had become an overgrown nightmare, I discovered two happy things.

1. My raspberry plants are alive and happy.

2. I have Lemon Balm growing everywhere. I harvested a lot of it and it is now drying from being washed. I am 90% sure it is Lemon Balm and not Bee Balm, but I think I'll have to wait until later in the summer to see if the remaining plants bloom. My plan is to chop up most of it and store it in oil in the freezer. Some will just go into icecube trays as whole leaves.




I got a LOT of weeding done today. The herb garden and all the front yard flowerbeds are done. Even Rachel's garden is looking passable. We planted five more pea plants today. She has enjoyed pulling pea pods off and eating them. She has one watermelon and two cantaloupe plants as well.
