Lemon Balm is a mint. It smells great! Back in the day we used big cuttings as in house flowers. Touch when you move by
Pollunaters love the blooms but once it seeds it seeds. I had 4footers!

When we got the original Mosquito magnet, it worked like a charm. I think they were made in Vermont or somewhere in New England. They are now made in China and, although even more expensive, don't work as well. The Magnet permanently destroys the mosquito population, not just repels them. We now have the citronella geranium, but rely on Thermacells to keep the mosquitos away. They are a repellent and work very well.

It was -15 F. here this morning. Currently +22 F. and the snow is still deep. I heat the attached greenhouse but don't grow much there. It is mostly for overwintering herbs and flowers.

"Whew", that's "cold", not so sure I could handle those temps. Was gonna move there when we were younger, wanted to hunt that place, but now older. It's hard to get going in the morning, at these temps.

You have more energy than me for sure. And ugh... sitting at the ER is such a drag. (But I'm glad you took her!).

Me too, she has had it too long, and it wears on us both; will be nice when she gets back to her old self; "vine" terminator.

Yeah @Jake Smith that looked like a lot of work, especially considering the ER visit. I guess you wanted an excuse to get back on the tractor. Did you make the raised rows with a middle buster plow or by hand?

I'm doing okay. I'm worried about Marie hoping you guys get a break. You hit a rough patch. Tell Maria I'm thinking of her and praying for her.

Great your doing ok, I will tell her, and thanks for prayers, we all need them. It's been a rough 4 months for sure, but I think maybe we are finally figuring out what's happening with her now. Hopefully no one else passes away soon.
