Hi Everyone, I haven't posted anything for a long time. I do hope you are all well and enjoying the fine weather we are having so far this year. I hope you can help me identify the plant in the photo. Is it lemon balm? It does have square stems like a mint plant. Many thanks for your help.

Looks like lemon balm to me. Squeeze a leaf, you'll soon know from the smell.

Thanks for the reply Thorneyside. I had crushed a leaf and it has a musty, slightly lemon smell. Not distinctively lemony, as mint is minty. That is what made me wary. But am glad to have your reassurance that it looks like lemon balm.
