Curiosity may have killed the cat...but the mint's just fine.



Adversity builds character and strength right? Well I'm sure it does despite mostly being unpleasant in the moment. However if you are a member of the menthol family, commonly known as mint, hardship only makes you more prolific. Garden boundaries are only suggestions and not meant to corral the mint, but rather the lowly plants that haven't got gams. Since propagating my peppermint and spearmint plants, I have met them in the oddest places. At first it was just a casual meeting just outside the garden box and we both looked away and kept going. Than it was the middle of the lawn; me on a mower and it trying to blend with the crabgrass. I sighed ... and then promptly whacked it with the mower. Than it just started to get creepy, a chance meeting in a dark corner behind the house and in a pile of bricks outside the kitchen. I was starting to feel stalked or at the very least watched. It seemed I really couldn't continue to turn a blind eye to this flagrant disobedience. I had to get tough...So I had a cup of tea. Delicious!
