Mint – (Mentha)

There are many types of mint including three of my favorites

  • Chocolate Mint
    Spearmint
    Peppermint

Mint can also grow all year round. It will come back every year and can take over small spaces quickly. So be sure to keep it trimmed back for optimal use. It also can cause allergic reactions.

The ancient Greeks would rub mint on their arms believing it would ultimately make them stronger men. Mint can keep wasps, hornets ants, and cockroaches away. Also known for the herb of hospitality in Greek cultures. They would steep the mint in the rooms to give it an aromatic smell for guests.
