we've got masses of the stuff in our poly-tunnel and the bees love it - according to an old folklore the leaves should be rubbed inside a beehive just before introducing a swarm. We've used it every-time and it never fails!

I wasn't impressed with it as a tea but my goats love it.  I've now got my friend bringing all hers round for them.  Just waiting to get lemon flavoured milk.

We hung it up in the milking shed during the mossy summer then Simone snatched it and ate it on her way out one day!  ungrateful or what!

bit of thread resurrection here 

As far as I know lemon balm is one of those natural oestrogen producing plants, for ladies of a certain age (like me) it has benefits

For crimbo & my birthday I was given a set of three books by James Wong the oriental herbalist .
Lemon balm features highly in all sorts of his remedies . I just like laying down on the bed of it and rollingn over once or twice .. I'd love a dwarf version to try and make a lawn of it.

I only have his first 2 books but the third does look like a resolution breaker to me (no books until the heaps of unread ones are gone  ). reference books don't count or do they? I have the best intentions to do something this year with all that lovely lemon balm that grows here ...

[Mel Rice]

I can recomend lemmon balm in a bath lovely.

Just picked up on this old thread and am now jealous, my lemon balm was in a big decorative garden pot for years then died   .
My next trip to anywhere that sells herbs will see me treating myself I think.

I used to have loads of the stuff, only a tiny pot now.....thanks for finding it again, I may chuck it into some stir fry

I think mine has been killed...  By the mint!

[Lesley Silvester]

MInt does things like that. I grow mine in a pot for that reason.
