The smell, the taste, the benefits….REALLY!!! It is an amazing weed herb. Mint can take over the garden really quickly, if it is not trained. Since the benefits are so plentiful, figuring out how to care for them is well worth the effort. **Personal side note: I thought I had killed my mint this year. It was doing great for weeks and then it was brown and dry. I didn’t understand what happened. I moved it to a different area of the garden, watered it, cut it back by 3 branches, and it came back with a vengeance! Like the basil plant, you can purchase a mint plant from the grocery store for a few dollars and grow it right on your window sill.

Direct sun will not hurt this plant. 2 – Soil Place some well-nourished soil in a container and then your mint plant. I HIGHLY recommend container planting! It is really hard to contain mint if it is in the ground. ***Another note – because this plant can be aggressive, turn the container every 2 weeks to keep the roots from coming out of the bottom and taking root into the ground. 3 – Harvesting Keys to pruning mint: Pretty simple right? RIGHT…. 4 – Storage If you take care of your mint, there will be plenty to share….so how should you store your mint? 5 – Propagating We LOVE sustainability. And mint can be sustainable just like every other plant. Not sure what to do with your mint once it’s grown? Check out this post for ideas. Happy Gardening,
