Lemon Balm is one of the plants we learned about when we read through the Herb Fairies books. I got excited about it and bought a plant, and then found out from friends who have tried it that it is only an annual where we live and it won't come back the next spring. I was disappointed, especially since I did not actually use my lemon balm the summer I planted it. I wanted it to put down good roots so I left it alone. Boy, was I in for a happy surprise this spring when I saw that my lemon balm not only came back, but it had spread it's seeds and I had lemon balm coming up all over my flower garden! I must have somehow found a good spot where it was happy :) This summer I am finally going to try some of those lemon balm recipes from the Herb Fairies!

We did something really fun last year with our gardening. We learned about the weeds we find in our yard and what we can do with them.
Homeschooling is a lifestyle for us and we try to use everything we do as an opportunity to teach the children, even over the summer months when we don't have much of a school routine. Let me show you some of what we did in summer school this year!
