And you can rub the leaves on yourself as a mosquito repellent.

Absolutely!

At least the American species does, which also repels ticks. This looks like one of the Asian species to me because of the narrow leaves, and I am not sure if they have the same pest-repelling properties.

Do you know if they do?

Excellent! I need that. The mosquitos love me

I had no idea it was edible! Awesome πŸ‘

Supposedly not very flavorful, though. Lots of folks make a jelly!

Definitely gonna pick some and try them today. I’ll let you know! Lol
