Lynn planted mint in our yard. It has spread out, since.

She died last July of kidney failure.

Today found me sitting in the yard watching birds, trees , one grandkid and passing-by neighbors.

We have workmen doing repair and I got a strong smell of mint as one of the workmen brushed against the mint.

Thanks, Lynn

13. Mint is a nice thing to have in your garden

One caution though - it grows like a weed. Mint can take over if you aren't careful to keep cutting it back.

I love the scent of fresh mint and it does have benefits such as repelling pesky varmints and insects. It's a great thing to add on certain kinds of salads and even main dishes. But if you aren't actually harvesting it or sharing it with friends, it might act like a weed and overrun other plants.
