This is a citrosa plant or a “mosquito plant” it smells like citronella and the leaves are very oily, so it’s great to use as a natural bug repellant. I put mine in a hanging basket and it’s flowering! Thinking of up-sizing her pot soon.

I got a lot done this weekend, I’m most proud of my herbs 🫶🌱
Strawberry mint, lemon verbena, and cilantro in pink nursery pots that I potted with homemade soil mix they’re sitting in a plastic tray with water and fertilizer to bottom water (butt chug) I got the seeds for my herbs from various eBay sellers this year, and my gardening supplies and planter pots and soil from a local nursery and my grandpa

even though we’ve had some rain lately, it has been spotty. I am getting into a watering/ fertilizing routine for my perennials and berry bushes and everything seems sooooo happy about it
