Pineapple Mint
My Home and Garden
Thursday, April 11, 2013
Every now and then a plant just can't make it. Even a herb?
I have several mint plants. All in really large pots. I have a spearmint, chocolate mint and pineapple mint. It is the pineapple mint that just can't make it. It has been limping along since year one. I am throwing in the towel. I give up.
Pineapple Mint? Who needs Pineapple Mint? I can't imagine that it is nice even at its best. In my opinion, mint is designed to be "minty" if you know what I mean. Most of mine is Moroccan mint, which is very flavourful and very vigorous. We use a lot of it in the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteGood point Mark. I actually grew it because I smelled it and realized that it is the plant my grandmother had in her garden when I was little. She was the most beautiful person to ever live on this planet. So I g ave it WAAAAY more time than I've ever done with anything. But nostalgia or not...gone.
DeleteWow - that is some healthy moss you are growing in that third pot! (=
ReplyDeleteThat's for sure hey. What is interesting is the first two are left on the cool (shade) bench all the time. The pineapple mint get a lot of sun. The moss should be in the shady pots, no??
