How to grow mint

Growing mint is easy in your Harvest to Home garden. Planting mint will provide you with plenty of flavor all season along! Give the plants a few weeks to get established. Once you have a healthy amount of leaves you may pick 25% of the entire plant. When picking mint make sure to only harvest the leaves and not the stems to start. Mint has a habit of taking over its surroundings so once it has started over growing, feel free to cut off the stems as well. The plant will send small shoots all around the soil and start to take over, it is best to grow mint in a container. With all of the differnt mint leaves you will really start to fall in love with planting mint!
