But ye...Hey, been away for a while so this is late.<br />But yes lemon balm is most definitely related to mint, it is spreading more in my garden than the mint is! <br /><br />Have you found any recipes to use it in as I am struggling with this at the moment.KnightMarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08174466702401368517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3933235466412954952.post-84635737682853022082011-05-28T02:31:26.376+01:002011-05-28T02:31:26.376+01:00Hi Rachel - Looking good! I grow herbs but very ra...Hi Rachel - Looking good! I grow herbs but very rarely use them - just occasionally (I just never think about it!). I have them outside for scent, for the most part. I do use my mint for mint sauce since in the US, you can't readily find any 'real' mint sauce (...even then you have to track down the malt vinegar to make it!).<br /><br />I have come across lemonbalm though I have never had any. Very 'lemony', isn't it?<br /><br />My chives come back every year. I use it in cooking when I remember. Did you know you can pluck the flowers and add the petals to stews and dishes too? I still have some in my fridge (I suppose they are 'past it now', but even so... they usually add a little 'something' to whatever you are preparing, in my experience.)<br /><br />Anyway - I do keep track of your blog entries... I just have so little time at the moment to comment on anything. Thought I'd drop a note in here though since I have five minutes before supper.<br /><br />Keep it up! It's all a great learning experience! Hope your tomatoes are recovering. Yours had wind problems, mine had hail problems. There's always something!...<br /><br />:)SingleGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15471019005034849640noreply@blogger.com
