I did it. I planted mint straight into my garden bed, even though everyone says it’ll take over. But I couldn’t resist the fresh smell and the thought of mojitos all summer. I picked a sunny spot, dug a little trench, and dropped the mint in. Now, every time I water it, I check the edges to make sure it’s not creeping too far. I’ve started snipping the leaves for tea and salads, and honestly, it’s made my garden feel alive. The trick? I keep an eye on the runners and pull them back when they get too bold. It’s a little extra work, but the payoff is worth it. If you’re thinking about it, just be ready to give your mint some boundaries. Trust me, the fresh leaves are worth every bit of effort. gardening #mint #herbgarden #planttips #gardening #mint #herbgarden #planttips
