    Lemon balm is good for adding lemon flavor to dishes, especially fish and chicken dishes. It can also be used to make tea and as potpourri. Many people also claim that if you rub it on your skin, it makes a good insect repellent.

    The very best organic pest control I have found is neem oil. It's very effective and safe for beneficial bugs, like bees and lady bugs. It's also safe for humans. Here is more information on neem oil: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/problems/pests/neem-oil-uses.htm

    Does it have any smell to it? Perhaps it is lemon balm. If not then it is one of its many relatives. These are all in the mint family, and all look very similar.

    These are 2 very different plants. Lemon balm is in the mint family, grows rapidly and dies back to the ground in winter. Lemon thyme is a slowlycreeping groundcover. It has both thyme and lemon flavors. Lemon balm makes a great tea or addition to ice tea.
