No Wonder Some People Call these Weeds

I grew spearmint in a big plant container last year. I brought the container indoors to the enclosed porch for the winter, and all the leaves turned brown so I pruned it all down.  When all the leaves turned brown, I thought it died, so I stopped watering it.  Then the other day, I saw that it was shooting up new leaves!  Oh wow!  This is a plant that just doesn't die.  It is definitely a "super" plant.  I'm pretty excited that new shoots are coming up.  It's no wonder some people call mint "weeds" and warn not to plant it in the ground!!  They don't die, and just keep coming back just like weeds.  However for me, I love mint, so it's not a weed to me.  I just love, love, love how crazy the plant is!

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!!
