I hear you can make a bug repellant(I have rubbed it on me before--I don't buy store bought bug repellant--and it works for 10 to 15 minutes). But I keep mine around just because I love to brush against it and smell it, lol.becky3086https://www.blogger.com/profile/01026872543168452124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424703824657047654.post-56570204198097588602011-04-15T03:33:25.431-04:002011-04-15T03:33:25.431-04:00I'm growing Lemon Balm this year for the first...I'm growing Lemon Balm this year for the first time.

After baking it, it came out looking good only, the center was kind of like pudding, which it didn't taste all that bad. Anyway, I tried it again following the directions to a T and it came out pretty good.Bushrat Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02570574655402981278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424703824657047654.post-15130617072476312732011-04-14T18:01:10.372-04:002011-04-14T18:01:10.372-04:00Phil makes a great thyme fried potato, lol.Phil makes a great thyme fried potato, lol.becky3086https://www.blogger.com/profile/01026872543168452124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424703824657047654.post-19970625958801271672011-04-14T16:38:18.841-04:002011-04-14T16:38:18.841-04:00Yep, the "oldies" are the "goodies&...Yep, the "oldies" are the "goodies" every time (thyme!).
