Lemon balm on the kitchen window sill provides a nice citrus-y scent and some medicinal soothing to boot! Like most herbs, lemon balm has a deep history drawing on many cultures and uses. Beyond their culinary enhancements, herbs often have a special healing power. As the folks in the northern climates are starting to turn over their summer crops, we are beginning to think about our plantings for the balmy winter. Seasonal changes and differences - love the diversity! Naples, FL
