We have 3 kinds of mint and I've already pulled fistfuls out of the ground where they're encroaching on neighboring plants. We planted it in the garden next to our big oak tree for our daughter to nibble when she's out there with her friend, but it's probably the last season we'll keep it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] wolframhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 1 point 5 months ago (1 child) Bold to assume the mint gives you a choice in whether you "keep" it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago I'm a masochist.
