No ‘skeeters on me

and I smell lemony fresh!

Lemon Balm on my deck

Lemon Balm on my deck

A colleague at work regularly shares her amazing plants each spring with the office. This year my favorite acquisition is the Lemon Balm. Not only can you cook with it, it also keeps the mosquitoes at bay, as do most lemon scented plants.

To ward off the summer ‘skeeters, you rub the leaves of the Lemon Balm plant on your arms and legs. Its nature’s own repellent and perfume!
