And it's stupid easy to grow. Once you have mint growing in your garden/yard, you will never not have mint growing in your garden/yard/neighbors yard.
We once planted 6 different herbs in a rectangle planter including chocolate mint and spearmint, next year the whole planter and part of the one beside only contained chocolate mint.
Chocolate mint is especially evil in my book because it took over an entire area of our yard and killed off my grandfather's raspberries that had been growing for decades and transplanted to two new homes ending their long lineage.
It took over a entire section of our garden as a kid. I chewed that shit all day every day every summer.
That sounds like a pretty good memory.
Don't have tons. Thanks for making a point of that. Going in the gratitude journal.
Once you have mint growing in your garden/yard, you will never not have mint
Broadleaf herbicide keeps my neighbor’s mint infestation on his side without much issue. No worse than the violet, really. His kudzu is the only thing that causes a problem.

you will never not have mint growing in your garden/yard/neighbors yard.
I love how the mint just spreads from your yard to your neighbor's yard.
I was fully expecting this to mention Linux
Or that app for tracking household expenses.
That one closed and got rolled into credit karma. Guess that's one L for mint.
Not really an L. It's to be expected. Mint is always getting consumed!
Could also be a phone plan company. Just more evidence in favor of the versatility of mint.
Also, Linux Mint
Yes, that's why my distro of choice is Linux Mint lmao
I use Arch btw.
What is it with humans and eating, smoking, or drinking any kind of leaf, seed, or other vegetable that has evolved a deadly toxin to avoid being eaten..?
“You know what, this tastes a bit bland, let's add some insecticide to it to make it spicier!”
Mmm... Tomacco
We get bored and don't like bland things. These plants developed extreme flavors to deter most animals, but humans like to have unique and different things so it makes sense
Don't forget it's nice relieving properties. Stuffed nose and a sore throat? Mint green tea with a bit of honey. It'll help ease the discomfort for a time.
Just be careful planting your own. Mint does not care. It will escape the pot, and next thing you know, there's Chocolate Mint plants choking out the rest of the garden.
Chocolate Mint is also a wonderful variety to include if you're looking into an herb garden. You can get some different mint varieties going, make a nice blend for things!
Mint can act as a perfect addition to an herb garden or as a prank gift to a first-time gardener that you hate. So versatile!
Even better as a prank gift, it's so notoriously hard to kill and quick spreading, they won't notice until it's too late. Hell, they'll probably think they're doing a great job, since it'll be thriving so long as they pay it the bare minimum of attention.
I think some places do actually have some light restrictions in place, purely because it's so invasive it'll fight back against kudzu. It's just about a rung below kudzu on the difficulty to completely kill.
It’s also the best Linux distro! 🌱
Don't know about best, but it's very convenient, accessible, and easy to install.
If all someone is doing is browsing the internet or watching videos it's the best linux distro from an ease of use perspective.
And it’s disgusting in every single one of those. I hate mint
Same, mint is fucking vile.
Edit: I will die on this hill. You don't scare me, only mint scares me.
I wholeheartedly disagree but take a pity vote for those downvoting you for sharing a personal opiniom
This post brought to you by someone who never planted that cursed, evil herb in their garden
It's not an herb it's a lawn
Though there are worse lawns to have.
It's a lifestyle.
We got “chocolate mint”. Yes, it actually does taste a bit like chocolate mint. Yes, it will take over your garden and be miserable to remove.
Catnip is in the mint family, so kitties also like mint.
Also, catnip can be given to dogs too (in moderation) and some like it, so I guess doggies also like mint.
Not a fan of mint flavour tbh
I disagree with your opinion but I will defend to the death your right to express it
It's also a great phone company, cheap prices, good service. There are just so many uses for it. I believe it also keeps mosquitoes away if you plant it near your outside sitting area.
Phones are expensive to buy in bulk, surely there's a more cost effective way of deterring mosquitoes?
I thought I didn't like mint for the first 15 years of my life because of mint toothpaste.
