I sure hope that using the word bomb in your blog posts doesnt get you red flagged by "them". I have no idea who "them" are but they are always watching. I also dont know who "they" are either. Anyway, lemon balm. This plant is so good for so many things. I drink it as a tea every night before bed. Since its does die back in the winter and I have the a severe addiction to all things tea I thought I better start drying it now so I can stockpile it for later. I will be doing several posts on the very easy to grow. low maintenance plant. It will take over your garden so be careful where you plant. I have it grown along my house in a partial shaded area. Its also very expensive as an essential oil so I just grow it and get all my Melissa oil that way.
Pick a bunch of leaves, put them on a cotton breathable fabric laid on an old window screen, lay the leaves out in a singe layer. cover with another towel and let dry for a few days. Seriously its that easy. Then you just place them in a jar.
If you know someone replacing their windows just ask if you can have a few screens. If you see some on the curb pick them up and take them home and wash them. You can dry all your herbs this way it takes a few days but you can do alot at once or as little as you want.
