I've grown lemon balm all my life and have only used it in tea. Saving the recipe for green beans with lemon for the next couple of weeks when hopefully my green beans are ready. It is one of the most delightful smelling herbs. I think it is more mangable then other mints. It reseeds its self, but the seedlings are easy to pull out. Other mints spread agressively from runners and it seems they are a constant battle to keep under control.

A Spicy Perspective, thanks for your comment! Lemon balm is a very useful plant, glad I could give you a few ideas for it.

Great ideas! I have this out in the yard and have never known what to do with it!

blessedmama, I am like you, I also have to stick my nose in the mint, basil, and lemon balm, but I also have to go one step further and pop a leaf into my mouth ;)

Julielynn, I think you would enjoy lemon balm, it really is lovely!

I've never tried lemon balm. Sounds lovely though. We'll have to try toner and tisane too. =)

I think it's amazing that you just know how to make non-food items with food! My brain does not work that way at all. That lemon balm looks good; I can just imagine its scent. I cannot walk by basil or mint without sticking my nose in it. I'll have to give that green bean recipe a try; I've never been good at fresh green beans - I either overcook or undercook them. Thanks for the recipe.

I love the smell of lemon balm. I used to have a giant plant in my garden and I brewed gallons of refrigerator tea (a.k.a. sun tea) with lemon balm and mint.

2010-07-07T14:41:49.227-04:00

Alicia, yes, lemon balm will take over an area just like mint if not closely maintained. I grow mine in a pot, but that is just because I have very limited space. I wouldn't mind a whole bed of lemon balm! :)

2010-07-07T14:05:07.596-04:00

You mentioned that lemon balm is related to mint. Does it have a tendency to "take over" like mint?

The beans sound great!

mangocheeks, mine is growing in a pot too, since I have very limited space here. Lemon balm is one of my very favorite herbs, you can do so much with it!

Mandy, thanks for your comment! I hope you do get some lemon balm, it's so easy to grow and very useful:)

I have a lemon balm plant growing in a pot in my garden. Although i've seen many sweet dishes using lemon balm, i've only ever drunk it. I have to admit, I don't think i've seen a savoury dish with lemon balm until now. The bean dish is tempting me, esp. as I found some frozen at the bottom of my freezer.
