      Unless all you want to harvest is mint, it’s not a good idea to plant mint in the ground. It takes over the whole field.

        I was promised this when I planted mint in ground at my old house, and sure enough, the mint took hold. Alas, my insatiable appetite for mojitos was too much demand for the mint to sustain and I eradiacted it through overharvesting.

        Wow this grows really well!

        Okay, I’m going to trim this back now.

        How the hell did the mint get over there

        Oooh. I knew this but for some reason my brain went from “Th ground? Like soil?” to “if I’m not supposed to grow it in a pot of soil, am I meant to grow it on some sort of trellis setup?”

        Mint grows better than grass, as it’s well suited for the environments most people try to grow grass. Which are environments not well suited for it.

      Well I copied the yard we already had, but I let the mint run wild. Also I think the racing stripes I added here and here look pretty sharp.
