Mint is the hardiest most invasivest shit ever and like I cannot stress enough how quickly and vigorously it grows. If you ever need mint just like root a cutting and plant it and give it some fertilizer like once a week and you’ll have more mint than anybody could ever need for their entire lifetime

I transplanted a basketball sized mint plant into a bigger pot two weeks ago and it’s quintupled in size with leaves the size of my hand. I literally do not know what to do with it. I offered like a pound of it to my weed dealer and you know what he said? nah he’s trying to kill the shit growing around his house

    Ok but counterpoint why do my incredibly thriving hanging pots of mints inevitably become a home for massive amounts of aphids, huh?

    I’m honestly just annoyed they love my mint specifically, haven’t even had an issue on them on tomatoes, or other herbs. Spraying them because this is generally just the stuff I grow on my balcony and I can’t be arsed to try and introduce predators when they won’t stick around. LEAVE MY MINT ALONE
