I always learn something from your blogs! I did not know rosemary & sage were in the mint family. Some great tips here, thank you. Hope you are all well and safe.

It’s on a back burner since I am not driving long distances but still seriously considering it, and looking.

Sounds delicious. We put our spearmint in iced tea, and in the summer, we find lemon balm tea quite refreshing.

We had so much mint at our old home. It was everywhere. I’ve resisted the temptation to bring some here, but then again, I know I’ll miss it if I don’t set out at least a bit. I loved adding fresh mint to “smoothies” on Saturday mornings, or adding a bit to a chocolate cake. We’re putting out herbs this weekend, so I might have to grab a bit of mint.

And that bit is all it will take, haha! Invasive and wonderful.

Yep. Quite invasive. We also have myrtle at the new home… and I love myrtle. I’ll let it grow anywhere it wants. 🙂
