Lemon Balm Planting Instructions:
1. When to Plant: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost, or sow directly outside once the soil has warmed in late spring.
2. Preparation: Choose a spot with well-draining soil and full sun to partial shade. Lemon Balm isn't picky, but it loves a bit of organic matter.
3. Sowing: Barely cover the seeds (1/16 inch) as they require light to germinate. Keep the soil surface moist but not soggy.
4. Care: Once the plants are established, they are very hardy. Harvest the top leaves regularly to prevent the plant from becoming leggy.
5. Pests and Diseases: Very resistant to most pests. In fact, its scent often helps protect nearby plants from unwanted visitors.
