Growing tips

Mint is a fast-growing plant and can take over entire beds by forming root runners. This makes it easy to propagate via cuttings. If you grow mint from seeds, you should not cover them with soil, but only lightly press them down and water them, as mint is a light germinator. The leaves can be picked throughout the summer. The best time for a complete harvest, e.g. for drying, is shortly before flowering in June. If you harvest whole stems, you can tie them together and hang them up to dry.
