Mint is the hardiest most invasivest shit ever and like I cannot stress enough how quickly and vigorously it grows. If you ever need mint just like root a cutting and plant it and give it some fertilizer like once a week and you'll have more mint than anybody could ever need for their entire lifetime

I transplanted a basketball sized mint plant into a bigger pot two weeks ago and it's quintupled in size with leaves the size of my hand. I literally do not know what to do with it. I offered like a pound of it to my weed dealer and you know what he said? nah he's trying to kill the shit growing around his house

There are some varieties of mint that are really nice for cooking with or even just chewing on. The mint that sprawls across our community gardens is definitely not that kind.

That sucks, mine smells amazing and with all the fertilizer it's got these huge sexy leaves. I just don't know what to do with it because all i really use it for at work is souvlaki and like Cuban pork before i started doing the vegan stuff

I would plant it in my yard and just have a sexy ass mint yard but i feel like my neighbors would not like it when it inevitably sends runners under the road and driveway

We have anise hyssop, catnip, and henbit that all are really useful, but our mints are mostly just weedy.

Can I have some of your mint for my indoor planters?
