I hate mint, it's been put into WAY too much damn stuff, and is 98% of toothpaste flavors. It took me way to long to find a toothpaste that was JUST cinnamon not "Cinnamon-mint" or "minty cinnamon" or "Cinnamon with a BLAST of mint" just plain cinnamon.
The other thing their evolution has done is make it so we can't stop it growing lol. Never ever plant that stuff in anything but a container. Maybe not even that. It spreads by wind and magic.
I've got a stubborn patch of mint growing in a big ceramic pot with an endangered dune cactus, and they get left to fend for themselves 24/7-365 outdoors at a beach cottage... in New England!
Both plants have thrived in their pot for nearly two decades now!
