RE: My Very Favorite Medicinal Herb and Some Thoughts About a Giveaway
The reason I haven't got lemon balm is I haven't anywhere to contain it! The mint is already in the contained area. Mind you, I wonder if they'd be happy together?
I grow mine in a five gallon bucket. I've found that as long as I cut it down every fall, it doesn't get thick enough to kill itself out. It survives our winters outside just fine being in a container. I do make sure it is protected from the north and west winds.
I don't know if one, mint or lemonbalm, would be aggresive enough to crowd the other out or not. I will look into that and let you know!
