I can't imagine being angry at mint either. We don't have a problem with it taking over our garden because we keep using it!

Mint pesto (with no basil at all) is fabulous.

Oh, it is invasive!! I think the container route is often the best. My mother planted som in a border near her lawn and over the years, the mint took over. But, how can you get mad at mint??

Good hint...if I plant some outside I'll try that to control it. Thanks!

Tabbouli is definately on my list of things to make in the coming months. Yum.

Mint is great fun to grow. I’ve had good luck keeping it from taking over my garden by using on eof those plastic edging strips that you pound down into the ground. It does take some watching though. Even with the divider the mint tries to creep over. Have fun growing your. Be sure to make tabbouli when you get your fresh mint. It’s wonderful.
