Lemon balm, a member of the mint family as mentioned previously, is a truly useful plant with many pleasant properties. Not only is it an edible plant which can be used in cooking, it is also purported to drive pesky mosquitoes away with its active ingredient, citronella, a distinct chemical that gives it the distinct lemony smell. My lemon balm is growing strong now and I hope it will flower soon so that I can propagate more of it. Wish me luck!
