Mint is a fragrant, delicious, multi-purpose herb that’s so easy to grow it can easily take over when planted in the ground. That’s why it’s perfect for a container herb garden! Once you know how to grow mint in pots, you’ll be able to produce as much as you need, while controlling spread.

One time we lived in a house where the previous owners grew mint and lemon balm in the front flower beds.

Mint is great to use as a garnish and it tastes amazing with fish, meat, poultry, or vegetables. Mint also blends well with green or fruit salads. Mint can be used with vegetables including peas, new potatoes and carrots.
