How to Make Mint Tea
I grow mint in the garden, and have so much of it. If you know anything at all about mint, you know it grows like a weed. People often ask me, what do you do with all that mint? One thing I do is use it for tea. My older son and I have several [...]
Overflowing w/Mint
The mint finally exploded in the garden! We have so much mint! Excitement! I pulled some and stuck it in my blue glass jars in my kitchen, as I like pretty green growing things everywhere in the house. The mint plants have taken to the water, though I don’t know how long they will live.

Where is My Mint??

Anybody Know About Mint Plants?
My husband’s cousin’s wife gave me a cutting from this mint plant they had growing around their farm (they bought an old amish farm that had a lot of good stuff growing on the land). I planted it far away from my garden on the side of the garage, because mint plants grow like weeds, [...]
