Growing Mint is Easy!
This pot of spearmint has been on my deck for two years. I do cover it in the winter, and it's not as thick as it was last summer because of our drought this summer, but it still looks pretty and the fragrance is nice when you brush up against it, or feel the need to rub the leaves. Mint can also be placed in drinks, like tea and for cooking.
