Daily details from the garden to bring you inspiration throughout the year
Of all the unlooked-for encounters in the garden this week, the accidental brushing up against Melissa is perhaps the most invigorating. That fragrant member of the mint family, the lemon balm (Melissa officinalis), has inserted herself into the borders according to a plan unknown to the gardener, resulting in the occasional welcome waft of citrus on the air as I work through the assembled jumble of plants, tweaking out a jagged bramble here, a twining bindweed there. I am grabbing a few minutes out here today, fiddling at the edges – the garden will be requiring more concentrated effort in short measure, but right now I’m content to potter through lemon-scented foliage.
