I have mint. Pretty much only use it for pasta and chilli sauces now and then, but it’s a very easy “set and forget” plant to have in a box planter.

Mint in pasta?
I’m intrigued. Explain further.
ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 2 months ago
You can make pesto with mint instead of basil (though using both its best).

Usually toward the end, I’ll crush them into the sauce with chilli flakes. That’s my final stage of the sauce while the water goes on boil getting ready for the pasta, along with any last final tweaks of herbs/salt/pepper then too. Better with lamb and/or pork mince.
Goes well finely chopped in white sauces with some lemon too. Usually only do that with chicken.

Is it sad that I immediately began to worry that mint was yet another causualty of the CDC’s destruction when I saw this?

I’m high, and didn’t realize that mint connected to all of the things listed. So I thought mint was just another of the things listed. So I began looking for lettuce. Then I saw Linux, and got so confused.

My mom already does - and all she uses it for is for tea, and even so very rarely. Ah wellxylol@leminal.space 2 months ago
I pla ted some mint around the house to hopefully make it smell good, some Rosemary as well
csolisr@hub.azkware.net 2 months ago
What are the chances, she also planted rosemary! And oregano, but that one unfortunately dried out
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 months ago
It’s also a natural pest repellant. Fleas, rats, mice, bed bugs. They all hate the smell, and will avoid it.

I managed to kill the mint I was growing last year…

Mint is a treasure

Weed for cats since catnip is a mint

Also a really nice touch in hot chocolate if you’re wanting to make it fancy.

I’ve tried growing mint in pots but it always gets covered in aphids and whitefly.

Chewing on a mint leaf is one of life’s treasures.
QueenFern@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
I’d put it in a container within a container within yet another container. That shit spreads
rumschlumpel@feddit.org 2 months ago
I wish. Can’t hold its own against the other weeds in our garden.

Put some catnip in and watch everything else fade away

…kinda makes me want to plant that stuff all over my yard. It grows kinda patchy like clover, right?
Let that shit take over and suddenly mowing the lawn will smell AMAZING!

Depending on the type, it may get about 2 to 3 feet tall and develop woody stems. Our contained patch (pavement on 2 sides and the house foundation on the other 2) frequently gets overgrown/bushy by July. Does get little white flowers and attracts all the bees. But I’d dislike having a yard made of the stuff. Woody stem portions get pokey on bare feet, and I’m not sure it’d stay dense enough to keep the other tall plants down.
