PERENNIAL: Spring/Summer/Fall harvest Frost hardy to zone 4
TO START EARLY INDOORS: In early spring, 4 to 6 weeks before last frost, start seeds in a container of moistened soil mix. Sow thinly, but do not cover. Provide a good light source until ready to transplant when seedlings are large enough to handle. Best Grown In Containers Grow only in containers because mint spreads rampantly by underground runners, quickly becoming a nuisance in the garden. When warm spring weather arrives, sow seeds thinly (but do not cover) in containers of pre-moistened new soil mix in full sun. Keep evenly moist but not soggy. When several inches tall, thin or transplant seedlings 6 to 8 inches apart in pots at least 16 inches across and 12 inches deep.
GROWING NOTES: Mint is long-lived and gets overcrowded easily. Divide plants into 4 quarters every spring, replanting one quarter of the original clump into a pot of fresh soil mix. Replant extra clumps in new pots or give away.
HARVEST AND USE: Harvest frequently to encourage new growth. Snip sprigs of leaves in the morning when the aromatic oils are strongest. Use in drinks and sprinkle chopped mint over green and fresh fruit salads. Air dry by hanging branches in a warm, well-ventilated area, then package airtight.
