And it’s stupid easy to grow. Once you have mint growing in your garden/yard, you will never not have mint growing in your garden/yard/neighbors yard.

It took over a entire section of our garden as a kid. I chewed that shit all day every day every summer.

That’s unless you also have dill.

Made a herb planter pot thing for my mom for mother’s day a few years ago, dill still going strong even with the cat munching on it

I can somehow kill dill. About the time it gets big enough to harvest some, it just bolts and dies. Even with a sun shade. I have to replant it every year.

Maybe your soil is not compatible, idk.

We once planted 6 different herbs in a rectangle planter including chocolate mint and spearmint, next year the whole planter and part of the one beside only contained chocolate mint.

Chocolate mint is especially evil in my book because it took over an entire area of our yard and killed off my grandfather’s raspberries that had been growing for decades and transplanted to two new homes ending their long lineage.

Broadleaf herbicide keeps my neighbor’s mint infestation on his side without much issue. No worse than the violet, really. His kudzu is the only thing that causes a problem.

Ivy and brush formula round up appears to have done the trick on the patch in my yard some asshole previous owner spread. I don’t want a mono-culture yard but I hate both the smell and taste of mint. If there’s one herb I could do away with forever that would be it

I love how the mint just spreads from your yard to your neighbor’s yard.

It’s a gift that keeps on giving. Forcefully. My neighbors hate me.

I managed to kill mint that was in a big planting pot. We had a very hot and dry spell and it just didn’t come back the next year. I was flabbergasted.

Also in my new house, animals ate the mint all the way to the ground. Never had that happen before!
