Swampfox762 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 As ya get older, ya forget simple stuff ya use to do back in the day . "Mint". I always had a little cluster of Mint growin in the shade outside. I'd go outside few times a week and just pick a few leaves. Wash em off... Stick it in bout anything I'd be drinkin. Mountain Dew, Rum and Coke...Tea. Yup. gonna plant some Real Mint. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Long ago, we had some in pots, but it got loose, and now grows wild everywhere[/]. Which is ok, because I drink copious amounts of tea. And catnip got away from us, and is now spreading, willy-nilly, across the county. Kitty cats approve. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Czervik Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I do love mint. I have some year round in a pot outside, as well as thyme, oregano, chives, and parsley. Everything else dies off over the winter. I made some homemade Vietnamese eggrolls last night. The kind you roll up in a lettuce leaf, with some mint, etc., and dip into nuoc cham.

Mrs.Cicero Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I had an herb garden on the side of the house when I was in high school. After I left home, no one took care of it for a bit, and the lemon balm and the chives popped up ALL over the yard. My father was still bitching at me about it a decade later. Around here, the construction project eradicated the lemon balm, so my daughter... replanted it. Along with some mint (she wanted more flavors than just the wild peppermint that grows next to my asparagus bed). But... she does't keep it trimmed back when it blooms, so I'm sure I'm going to find it growing everywhere in the near future. I don't care. It's tasty and I have a peas, mint& cashew recipe here that everyone likes, so it's not just for tea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Are you sure it's just mint, man? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rellik Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Grow stevia next to your mint. Pull off a mint leaf, and a stevia leaf. Roll them up together, and eat like candy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
