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 sounds like a pretty good memory.
Don’t have tons. Thanks for making a point of that. Going in the gratitude journal.
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.
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!
Once you have mint growing in your garden/yard
you will never not have mint growing in your garden/yard/neighbors yard.
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.
That’s unless you also have dill.
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.
Immovable object meets unstoppable force.
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
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
Guess she’s never had bubble gum toothpaste?
She said mainstream. Bubble gum toothpaste is awful lmao
When I was like 5 I would just suck the bubblegum toothpaste out of my toothbrush, then go "ALL DONE“
Once my mom caught on it was back to fuckin shudder…
…peppermint 🤢
I thought I didn’t like mint for the first 15 years of my life because of mint toothpaste.
I like mint in a lot of things, but I can’t stand mint toothpaste. Unfortunately, every other option I’ve tried has been even worse- fruit flavors, baking soda, etc.
Cinnamon?
They always make it too spicy. Like I don’t need to brush my teeth with Red Hots.
I was fully expecting this to mention Linux
Don’t forget it’s nice relieving properties. Stuffed nose and a sore throat? Mint green tea with a bit of honey. It’ll help ease the discomfort for a time.
Just be careful planting your own. Mint does not care. It will escape the pot, and next thing you know, there’s Chocolate Mint plants choking out the rest of the garden.
Chocolate Mint is also a wonderful variety to include if you’re looking into an herb garden. You can get some different mint varieties going, make a nice blend for things!
What if you just plant regular mint plants?
Of which type? There’s 32 in the family, including Catnip and Common Sage.
Mint is wild.
Also, Linux Mint
Yum
No sorry, that’s not very apt
sudo Yum
alias yum=apt
Yes, that’s why my distro of choice is Linux Mint lmao
I like my kernel as I like my wine. Vintage.
I use Arch btw.
I thought this was going to be about the Linux distro
