Planting season has arrived and the abundance of mint is impressive in the backyard garden.
Using Solo cups, I transplanted several mint plants to share with you. They are in the teacher's lounge waiting for you.
Take one, two or all of them and let me know if you need more.
If you are hesitant about growing and have a black thumb instead of a green one, here's what you need to do:
1. Find a pot(the bigger the better) and fill it with dirt or potting soil.
2. Dig out an area at least as big as the cup.
3. Remove the plant from the cup and place in the hole. Cover with dirt.
4. Water but don't flood and set the pot in a sunny area. Check it periodically to make sure it doesn't get too dry but seriously this is a low maintenance plant.
Now sit back and watch it grow!
You'll be able to pick leaves for flavoring teas and other drinks within weeks.
