Oh I just adore chocolate mint! I thought about buying some in the spring to plant but couldn't figure out where I'd put it. I have regular

mint in the yard and it just grows crazy if we're not careful

My mum died of breast cancer 9 years ago. One of the last things she gave me was chocolate mint leaves from her garden for me to use as tea.

I have not been able to find it since, and was elated today to finally be able to plant some in my own garden in her memory. Happy dance

Aww, that's wonderful!!

Chocolate mint is like drinking delicious Vicks Vapo-Rub. It's literally breathtaking. So glad you rediscovered it!

I grow it as well, and love it. If you ever want to talk about growing for-tea plants, I'm your girl. Just holler.

I hope the weather clears up so you can put your babies in their beds. I can garden vicariously through you.

CeeJay, I snorted so hard I nearly injured myself groking the whole Vicks Vapo-Rub connection ... lol. Good lord, woman!

Definitely want to hear more about your own tea-garden, CeeJay. So far I've got chocolate mint, spearmint, Stevia & rosehips.

Imm, I'm crossing my fingers on tomorrow. I'm 2 weeks late getting them in.

btw Mr. Cyannis, the heck with living vicariously! You've been the garden guru this year, what with companion plants & gridded raised beds!
