How to care for a mint plant.....

Mint tends to take over, so I grow it in its own corner. Plant mint in the spring, or in the fall in frost-free climates, setting seedlings 18 to 24 inches apart. Try growing mint in a pot where you can keep it in check and handy near the kitchen for a constant supply of sprigs. Add water-retaining polymer to the potting soil to be sure that it stays moist.

Things mint is used in.....

:herb: Tea

:herb: Lotion

:herb: Cough drops

******I'm sure mint is used in other things as well, but this is what I use it in. I believe in using herbs, sadly my mom doesn't, so I don't get to use it in much. But if I missed something, tell me and I'll add it in here!******
