Thanks Brenda that was really interesting to read and I also learned that Bee Balm helps attract Hummingbirds.

That is a good site. Thanks, Brenda. I didn't know basil repelled flies. There is a lot of interesting things there to read.
Too bad my bee balm all died. It stayed too wet where it was.

For your info: I put a list somewhere here awhile back of herbs that used to be grown in a midwife's garden from the 1800's. Not sure where that list is now since Brenda moved everything around last week!!!

R'lady, if you find it, would you post the location. I enjoy all the info I can get on herbs and it is almost time to restart several.

Brenda, thanks for that site also. Lots of good information.
