I spilled a pack of mint seeds in my garden, two months later there’s a spearmint jungle against my fence. Listen to this guys advice, plant mint in pots 😂
Mint also stores beautifully just wash it and put it in a closed container with damp paper towel and keep it in the refrigerator. change the towel once and a while, I have stored fresh mint for MONTHS using this method!
Your garden looks so darn healthy. That's the thing about gardening trying to keep your plants looking green and healthy. I need to learn all the science and tricks/tips. Beautiful mint ☘️
Cut mint, basil or any other herb and clean and chop. Then put in ice trays with water and when frozen put them in a freezer zip bag. Use them to flavor teas, soups, sauces, etc.
If you cut back the mint every week and put in a glass of water on a 4" stem minimum and in a week you will see loads of shoots coming from the bottom and plant. You will have loads of beautiful mint plants.
We also dry it out so we can use it in winter. I do let my mint grow in the wok areas of the yard. It’s pretty and smells amazing when I mow just a little bit of it.
I’ve had a lot of trouble growing mint in general. It would die of for seemingly no reason and then come back a few days later. It would look wilted and sad despite being watered regularly and then spring up out of nowhere. It wasn’t over or under watered and it had plenty of light, so I’m at a loss😅
Mohitos! Use 12 leaves of mint. 2 lime slices 1 teaspoon white sugar, or more to taste ¼ cup ice cubes, or as needed 1 (1.5 fluid ounce) jigger rum (such as Bacardi®) 4 ½ ounces diet lemon-lime soda (such as Diet Sprite®) Directions: Place mint leaves, lime slices, and sugar in the bottom of a glass and muddle with a spoon until mint is crushed. Fill the glass with ice cubes. Pour rum then soda over the ice; stir.
I love the way you are so very helpful with all of your wonderful tips & education on plants, yet you keep it simple enough for everyone to understand the how's & whys! 💜💜💜
Thank you for these invaluable tips on how to prune, harvest, and MAINTAIN the plant! Just started to try growing a few plants again - but keeping them alive for long periods of time has always been the challenge…
We had mint in our yard many moons ago. It was practically the only thing that grew under our brown thumbs. Yes it spreads but not anything crazy. We loved that big ol mint bush.
Oh mahhh ahhh! My mint plants sent out runners ALL the time. You gotta watch ‘em. Sneaky rascals. Climbing into other pots near by, too. Keep clipping!❤❤
All of my older relatives had tons of mint, so I grew up thinking it would always be everywhere… I need to get some more mint started. We ate it and drank it all the time.
Thanks for the tip! Two years ago, I made the mistake of planting it in the ground and it has taken over!!! Didn't know about I was supposed to keep it nipped back so it has tall, beautiful purple flowers...the hummingbirds love it! In the fall, I'm going to dig it up and put it into "several containers."
Yes, what you don’t wanna do is plant it in the ground. It takes over your flowerbeds and your flowers will no longer bloom.😞 I’m solving this problem this fall.
Great advice! I have 5 flavors(chocolate is my fav)😊 yes it goes wild, in 1 of my compost piles😳 but we let it(plenty of peppermint) & 1 of my raised beds from last year🤷♀️the orange mint somehow🤦♀️
You should do one on lemon balm also. It is truly the best thing I've found for a potent calming effect and bonus it has zero sedating effect. So you can use it before bed or during the day when stressed. It works so well because the plant is unique in that the dried leaves have by weight around 30% of the active compound. Normally extraction processes are required to condense down actives in plants to get a powerful effect but not with lemon balm. Fresh or dried leaves just eat swallow 2-3 and down some water or make some tea. Potent and taste is pleasant too. Amazing plant to know about.
Be sure it doesn't grow out the drain holes into the ground. I keep mine up on some bricks so there is a small space between the bottom of the container and the top of the ground.
I grew ginger mint this year, it's so pretty and such a good shade over for the roots of biggie plant I have some I use for mint and others I just grow to grow 😅
Love this valuable info - thank you so much! How do you ensure cats (and other animals) don't soil your mint. I believe catnip is in the mint family and cats are rather drawn to mint.

I really wish I was your neighbor so I could pop over for a cup of fresh mint. 🥰

My Nonna had it growing in her backyard in a little square of ground between the house and sidewalks. Loved it!
The gift that keeps on giving - but it will also take over your entire garden if you let it 😳

Thank you for that tip, I bought a small mint plant from the nursery , will top leaves off tomorrow . I learn so much from you!

Please put an extra pot for the bees. The bees love the mint flowers.
Bees love to share too
One pot of mint is more than enough.

What are you using for soil and how many times waterinf
Honey, your are one of my most favorite humans. Continue to share your blessings and wisdom. Love, Granny
Wow 😳 your plant looks wonderful. I do have mine in a pot, but it is very puny. I think because the temperature here in Colorado is triple digits.
Under a dripping tap ❤
@mitzimaquez2410. Mint is a very thirsty plant. Try adding an olla to the pot. You can buy one or there are heaps of diy videos on TH-cam.

I love growing mint! And I too keep mine in containers. I grow a chocolate mint variety that is heavenly in drinks!

Beautifully explained!

I love eating mint straight up plain right out of the garden. So good!
My mom planted mint in her garden and now she doesn't have a garden, just a giant patch of mint that won't go away no matter what
Mint has the loveliest scentbin the world.
Beautiful mint
The stems have more mintiness than the leaves do. FYI
Thanks for helping me understand how to care for the greens.
Mint is good for health👍
I see a cat, I like. Mint too
Oh mahhh ahhh! My mint plants sent out runners ALL the time. You gotta watch ‘em. Sneaky rascals. Climbing into other pots near by, too. Keep clipping!❤❤
I love it. Thanks for sharing. Love your channel.
💚Thank you!! I love your videos!!!
Thank you. 😊
I learned that the hard way. It has taken two years to rid myself of runaway mint! Now it lives in a pot!
So beautiful mint pot 😍 and good info.
I love the gifts that keep on giving 😂❤
I love how you described the plant and give tips about it. So helpful and pleasant to listen to.
Puppy wants to know if you've got something for him in that bowl... 😂
Mint spreads quickly - you're correct, it is best to grow mint in pots.
I grow mine in a back corner of my yard away from my garden where I can also mow it. I love mint!!
Your little dog is a star !
Wow. Thank you so much for the tip.❤
I put mint in the garbage disposal with lemon and it smells wonderful. Also I tear in little pieces and sprinkle it over watermelon. It's amazing.
in Australia, the major use for mint is as a sauce on roast lamb. You should try it!!
All of my older relatives had tons of mint, so I grew up thinking it would always be everywhere…
I need to get some more mint started. We ate it and drank it all the time.
thank you for the advice.
Great advice thank you xx
Beautiful, thanks for information!
Thank you for this great tip🥰✌🏽
Mint gets away from you but it's a pleasant surprise aroma if you mow over it. A little thank you for cleaning up your grass space.
Had no idea mint could be so furious in growth😂

I grow mint in ground they make a good ground cover and they make great chop and drop material that can make you compost.
Honestly thinking of putting it not in my garden but on the siding along my deck 😂
Great video, and great information ❤
I love your doggie ❤
Wow you have a beautiful garden 💖🤩👍
Mint looks like nettles but is actually completely edible, which I find crazy
Good to know I love mint and didn’t know it takes over. By the way you have a adorable pup too 🐕
Many thanks for the insights. 🎉
One of my favourite herbs... love your doggie staying with daddy..

😂😂 I've been unwittingly nipping back my boss' mint patch to make tabouli. Didn't know I was doing something helpful...
I knew about mint taking over but had a stupid moment and planted it in my garden bed! Now I’m struggling to get rid of it, I’ve learned my lesson.
Be sure it doesn't grow out the drain holes into the ground. I keep mine up on some bricks so there is a small space between the bottom of the container and the top of the ground.
Beautiful! And great suggestions, thanks!
Thank you very much!!!💖
That's good. I will try adding mint into my cover crops
Great advice thank you
