Mint is an awesome and easy herb to grow but it can also take over your garden! This is why I plant my mint in containers. It keeps it contained and easy to get too.
Usually my mint will come back every year, even in the container. However, with really cold and snowy winters lately, some of my mint has been killed off. However, this year my spearmint did come back! Although it took its sweet time coming back, I didn't see new growth on it till late May. By that time I had planted a peppermint plant in the same pot.
Now they're growing together in the same pot and it's actually working out pretty well. Not to mention it makes for some nice green foliage in the garden.
I've used the mint to flavor my water recently and to chew on some leaves to help with indigestion.
I could also try drying some and saving it for peppermint tea in the winter!
