MINTS!!!

So I heard that mints are pretty easy to grow and instead of always going to the market to buy some I decided to try this myself. From what I've read online, mints grow really well. If you do not grow them in a pot or separate them from the rest of the garden they will take over! So I grew my mints from cuttings. Basically, I bought mints at the store, used them and stuck the stems in a cup.

At first I wasn't getting any roots. I also noticed that the roots looked a little dead so I thought since they have been cut for who knows how long, so I cut them to give them fresh ends so the mints could absorb the water. In a couple of weeks I got roots!!!!!!


So this isn't the best picture(because my camera just can't do it), but I wanted to show the roots that grew. I let them grow a good amount before planting them in the soil.

Now my mints are planted and i am waiting for more to grow!
