Mint Treasure

Mint really does self-propogate, as this picture demonstrates. A dear friend gave us a plant from her garden last year, advising us to plant it in a pot if we did not want it to take over the whole bed! At the time I wanted all our plants to do just that and provide some ground cover. The dried up bit in the centre of this picture is last year's mint and this spring, we have had lush new growth all around it, nicely filling up space! I will have to take some out into pots and pass them on to friends this year though, before its neighbours, rosemary and thyme, protest.
