I don't know that I have heard of Betony before. I can't wait to see your plants grow and how you end up using them! I'm still coming up with different ways to use my massive amounts of lemon balm that keep popping up all around our garden! :)

I hadn't heard of it until I was given the seeds! I am looking forward to making tea with them! Pretty cool that the whole plant can be used. I'll post all about the process when the time comes :)
That's great you have loads of lemon balm! What has been your favourite use for it so far?
I have started doing more tea with dried lemon balm and mint now that the weather is getting colder. I also had made a batch lemon balm extract a few months ago and finally used it in some spinach muffins instead of vanilla. They turned out delicious! The extract added a nice subtle flavor, so it wasn't too overpowering. I'll definitely try to find more ways to use it in baking since I tend to do more of that in cooler weather, too. :)
That lemon and mint tea sounds great and your spinach muffins with the extract sound inspiring. I would have never thought to pair those! I look forward to seeing more lemon balm baking from you ;)
