Free Plants!
When we brought in the mint plant, I noticed that it had sent out runners. Everyone warned me about how mint reproduces like crazy, but I love mint, so I don't mind having an overload of it.
I clipped the little plants so that I could plant them in their own pots.
They have roots growing already, so all I need to do is to plant them in soil.
Who doesn't like free plants?
I took another photo of the enclosed porch. Yesterday, I wrote about how crowded it was getting. There are a lot of plants in here, but I think I can squeeze a few more in!!

Ooh do I see blooms on that plant? Pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love mint too and have several kinds even chocolate. It is fun sharing it. Mine dies back in winter and sometimes I think it is gone for good but nope, up it comes in spring and spreading all over.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week.
My mint has turned its nose up at the cold and died off. I'm hoping it might re-emerge next year, but I am pessimistic about its chances.
ReplyDeleteYou know I never thought of that, what a great way to propigate mint...I'll have to take a closer look at mine.
ReplyDeleteWe have it in the ground and my husband mows it....
ReplyDeleteYou might regret it. In my experience mint likes to take over everything. It is a very hardy and aggressive perennial.
ReplyDeleteI've been bringing in plants too and feeling a bit claustrophobic. Mints are the multipliers of the plant kingdom aren't they? Love them.~~Dee
ReplyDeleteI never even thought to bring the mint in. I have upgraded its pot several times this year and its huge. I guess losing it would free up space for something new!
