The political weather has been stormy of late, and as the sun has come out to play at last, the garden seems the safest place to be. There’s a lot to be done to get it ready for the growing season, so time spent outside is never wasted. A lot of what I’m doing at the moment could best be termed ungardening, clearing out the contents from last year’s containers, and reusing the potting compost in the bottom of new pots, or as a soil improving mulch.

Yes, we’re talking about mint! The breath-saving, tummy-taming, taste-boosting mint. At Fantastic Gardeners, we love this refreshing plant, and why wouldn’t we? It is fragrant, easy to grow, and has many beneficial uses in culinary arts, medicine, and cosmetics.
Even bees love its rich nectar! Find out how to plant mint in the garden and some of this botanical wonder’s most popular health benefits.
Mint is a fragrant herb that’s a great addition to any garden and easy to care for. This delicious herb does well in soil with a temperature of 12-21 degrees Celsius (55-70 Fahrenheit), and although its leaves may die back during colder winters, the roots usually survive, and they will come back in the spring. If you choose to plant mint in your garden, choose the early days of spring, as the soil begins to get warmer, which allows young plants to settle quickly and start growing rapidly.
Mint is an invasive plant that can quickly take over garden beds and open areas. Once planted, its underground stems root and form buds that will pop up throughout the bed and overtake other plants. To keep your garden tidy and under control, grow different varieties of mint together or in their own container. If you grow it in a pot, note that the plant may get scraggly looking after a couple of years.
When you are choosing a location to grow mint, it is essential to make sure that there is adequate sunlight. This plan will thrive if you provide a place with morning sun and partial afternoon shade. Also, it’s important to keep the soil moist. If you wonder, “does mint grow well in pots” the answer is yes. You can place your mint pot on a windowsill if it gets enough sunlight.
Growing mint in pots is a popular way to cultivate the herb, as it is
