I Love Lemon Balm

Lemon balm has sprung up in my back yard. Its cheery green leaves have opened up to soak up the sun and they are bigger evey day. I've made my first pot of fresh lemon balm tea and can't wait to make iced green tea and with lemon balm and orange slices on the next hot day. The next sunny, warm Sunday, I plan to make a sweet, crunchy fruit salad with chunks of pineapple, red delicious apples, fresh chopped lemon balm, chopped walnuts and vanilla yogurt.

Hmmm, maybe I'll pot up some lemon balm to take to the farmer's market in town this June...I love lemon balm!
