Growing A Mint Orchard! + Tips On Growing Mint In Pots

[@schoolbeginsaftercoffee4759]

Love the idea of a mint orchard! I will definitely be on the lookout for chocolate mint this growing season.

[@ChicagoGardener]

It’s my absolute favorite! Chocolate mint tea with milk is what gets me through winter 😄

[@christinaantalis6095]

As a beginner gardener, I was told that you can’t kill mint. It was encouraging to hear

[@ChicagoGardener]

😂😂😂 that’s so true, even if you want to…

[@carissasgarden]

Sounds yummy! And great tips, thanks for sharing 👩🏽‍🌾🌱

[@ChicagoGardener]

I can’t wait to try all the flavors!

[@letsgotravel7724]

So I just ordered six mints myself, always have trouble finding the fun mints and I’ve tried growing some from seed and it’s just not worth my time for my limited space. So I will go along with you to see how this company performs. Thank you, I really enjoy your videos, and just recently found you. Glad I did!

[@ChicagoGardener]

I’m glad you’re here! We’ll have to report back on which flavors we liked.

I love your idea. Chocolate mint is delicious ❤️

[@ChicagoGardener]

It’s my favorite herb!

[@MarianneHuff-b7n]

Hi, I loved this post. I may have to look into ordering some other mints.

[@ChicagoGardener]

I’m so excited to try new flavors!

[@MOUSEMOM40]

Oooh what a really good idea!

[@ChicagoGardener]

I’m hoping I love all of them as much as I love chocolate mint!

[@itsmewende]

Banana back ordered, that sounds like it must be a really good one. Thinking I need some choco in my life. I had everyday mint that I never used, not even sure where it came it from, vinca vine took it over, which that has taken over A LOT of garden along my foundation.

[@ChicagoGardener]

We have vinca down at ground level and it’s everywhere!

Brilliant idea! I’ve grown several of these varieties. I will say that pineapple mint was less aggressive. I suspect that was due to the variegated leaves. It just overall stayed more compact in my experience.

[@ChicagoGardener]

That’s good to know! How did it taste??

[@dollyperry3020]

Orange mint is amazing

[@ChicagoGardener]

That makes me so excited!! How much does it taste like orange?

[@dejareauxjazzy]

Apple mint is awesome I. I have 1 chocolate,spearmint,pineapple and a regular pepermint. Good luck either way your mint

[@ChicagoGardener]

How do you like pineapple??

[@dejareauxjazzy]

There was a spot on the south side of Chicago, that has a variety of mint

[@ChicagoGardener]

Do you know the name of the place?

[@debs-more-plants]

My valley is great! I’ve bought a lot from them.

[@ChicagoGardener]

Yay, I’m excited to hear that!! I never know what to expect the first time ordering from a new place, but the reviews I found were good!

[@ellyhill1947]

I love pineapple mint and grow it every year. I also love chocolate mint! I think I’ll try apple mint this year.

[@ChicagoGardener]

How much does it taste like pineapple?? I’m so excited to grow it!

[@ellyhill1947]

It tastes yummy and smells even better

[@janetkemper9177]

I see that website has lavender mint, I looked for that last year and never found it. I always enjoying growing mint, but never seem to make much with my harvest. This will be the year!

[@ChicagoGardener]

If you get the lavender mint, let me know how you like it! Maybe I’ll need to add that next year.

[@plantiphil]

Oh my goodness I love this project😍 i love that you always make a point to incorporate herbs in your container garden. I look forward to seeing them all!

[@ChicagoGardener]

I can’t wait for these to arrive!!!

[@anthonydobija3669]

I like munching on mint when i can.

[@condor198364]

I have chocolate mint growing in a big grow bag. It comes back every year.

[@ChicagoGardener]

What size grow bag did you use for yours?
