#A to Z Challenge – 14 April 2018 – M is for Mint – a Haibun
#atozchallenge – Nature & Outdoors Theme
Mint, who doesn’t like mint growing in the garden? I love the smell of it as I’m weeding the garden and especially the smell of the mint I have with roast lamb, I’m sure I can smell the lamb cooking every time I rouse it in the garden. But it can take over the garden as its wide-spreading underground stolons, take over very quickly, so it’s best to grow in containers, it can be a very invasive plant.

It is a strong-scented herb. I like that you smell the lamb roasting while you work in the garden!

Yes, it’s a nice smell Sunday afternoon roast coking while gardening as that was the only time I found for gardening being a working mom of five children. Thanks for commenting have a nice weekend.

I live in a flat, so my garden is on my balcony. My sister and friends assure me that mint is so easy to grow, but I never did have any success with it, alas! Or any other herb, either. Must be doing something wrong, I just don’t know what…

Thanks for your comment, In reply, if it is good rich soil, water it every day, avoid having it in the sun all day, it likes shade. A little advise hope you don’t mind, have another go. Happy days growing a garden on your balcony.

I love mint tea. Mint is a good cure for many stomach ailments and for bad breath.
