walburgablack mentioned you on a post “I was afraid of planting mint, is the funny thing. Every blog I read,…”
@bomberqueen17 that *is* what I’m getting from all of this, yeah. I was just hoping to do everything from seed and the others took, but well.
I have mint in my yard that I just gather little bouquets of and have given to various people to plant with the warning that they should be ready to contain it. And my sister claims I never really warned her, and this mint is so much worse than her other kinds of mint, and so actually she ripped it all out of her garden because it was trying to get into the driveway and choke out the shasta daisies.
I’m not offended, but she was a little mean about it, really. But I mean, she’s a little mean about basically everything, so.
There are many kinds of mint! This was a spearmint. She has other mints in her picking garden– chocolate mint, which is a kind of peppermint, and apple mint, which is a soft mild little mint and sort of timid, and there was a third kind I forget that died off. So not all mints are invincible. My mother had mint in her garden when i was a child, and a tree grew and shaded the patch so much the mint all died. I gave her some of mine and she stuck it in the middle of a field and it’s going to take over but that’s fine. Mint needs sun and wet.
I’m going to get a pot and plant mint in the pot out near my yurt, because I think peppermint tastes like shit in mint-sage tea and makes overly-harsh mojitos.
