My aunt gave me some clippings of peppermint and lemon balm at the end of June with the advice to grow them in a container.
Now I see why. I swear you could almost sit and watch these sprigs grow. Both herbs make a delightful addition to ice cubes during sweltering afternoons. I look forward to drying some later for autumnal teas.
Ohhh, yes. Never in the ground. Learned THAT one the hard way -- they grow under sidewalks and -- ta-DAH! - reappear elsewhere, otherwise...
ReplyDeletePersistence. We should teach children about mint instead of ants.
