I’d put it in a container within a container within yet another container. That shit spreads
I wish. Can’t hold its own against the other weeds in our garden.
Put some catnip in and watch everything else fade away
Ooooooh, bonus, your yard will always attract cats!
We have bird feeders and of course it’s going to attract mice so the catnip is there for a balance. We have a couple neighbor cats that make their rounds and I never see them going for birds. Always stalking out the mice. Win win!
…kinda makes me want to plant that stuff all over my yard. It grows kinda patchy like clover, right?
Let that shit take over and suddenly mowing the lawn will smell AMAZING!
The Linux one made me spit my coffee. Lmao
I have mint. Pretty much only use it for pasta and chilli sauces now and then, but it’s a very easy “set and forget” plant to have in a box planter.
Mint in pasta?
I’m intrigued. Explain further.
You can make pesto with mint instead of basil (though using both its best).
Usually toward the end, I’ll crush them into the sauce with chilli flakes. That’s my final stage of the sauce while the water goes on boil getting ready for the pasta, along with any last final tweaks of herbs/salt/pepper then too. Better with lamb and/or pork mince.
Goes well finely chopped in white sauces with some lemon too. Usually only do that with chicken.
I have something to try next time I have some fresh mint in the house
Is it sad that I immediately began to worry that mint was yet another causualty of the CDC’s destruction when I saw this?
I’m high, and didn’t realize that mint connected to all of the things listed. So I thought mint was just another of the things listed. So I began looking for lettuce. Then I saw Linux, and got so confused.
My mom already does - and all she uses it for is for tea, and even so very rarely. Ah well
I pla ted some mint around the house to hopefully make it smell good, some Rosemary as well
What are the chances, she also planted rosemary! And oregano, but that one unfortunately dried out
It’s also a natural pest repellant. Fleas, rats, mice, bed bugs. They all hate the smell, and will avoid it.
Where are my OJ peeps?
I managed to kill the mint I was growing last year…
Are you sure?
Very very.
Mint is a treasure
Catnip is also.
yeah I was gonna say, I once had mint and it sent the cat berzerk
Weed for cats since catnip is a mint
Chewing on a mint leaf is one of life’s treasures.
Mmh, Julep
I’ve tried growing mint in pots but it always gets covered in aphids and whitefly.
Also a really nice touch in hot chocolate if you’re wanting to make it fancy.
In Morocco they do this absolutely insane mint tea. You have to pour it about twice to get the right strength and then it has a big brick of sugar.
