FWIW, and not my bid-ness - BUT - Lemon Balm is in the MINT family, so unless you want it to take over your yard and LIFE, plant it in a pot to enjoy it - or at least in a pot that is buried with a few inches ABOVE ground, so it lessens the change of ESCAPE! :)
P.S. Feel better, soon! :)
Gotcha on that lemon balm. I am cursed/blessed that mint family plants don’t thrive in my soil. I lost my plain old spearmint in the ground last year but always keep 5-6 pots.
That said, I have a spot picked out for this lemon balm in a closed in corner where I can nurture a bit. I also have a bucket full of this Alabama soil where it’s been thriving to mix into my soil.
Leaving this morning to go home. Just finishing up my coffee to load car. Blessings to all!
