I just got myself into mint obsession. Got spearmint, peppermint , chocolate mint, lemon balm, sweet min. Ordered strawberry , pineapple , apple and orange. But there is some more ! Oh my !

[@thyme2grow676]

I totally understand! It is fun to collect them all!

[@makeoversbymeme2077]

Me too 😊 I keep finding different varieties.

well study shown that intake of peppermint tea (male rats) caused drop in testosterone level 25% while spearmint 68% - so in general if you male - stay da fuq away of either if you want to have a boner :D Here you have a list of testosterone killers: 1. Flax seeds 2. Cooking oils 3. Omega 6 polyunsaturated fatty acids 4. Mint 5. Alcohol 6. Licorice 7. Soy products 8. Trans fats peace and stay stiff :D p.s. aa and I forgot about mouth washing liquid - which is definitely No.1 forbidden for a man, cuz it eliminates bacteria in your saliva inside your mouth that will produce 50% of Nitric Oxide (NO), which is gas responsible for transportation and Growth Hormone and opening your vessels and blood distribution over your body. during aging it is dropping 50% naturally (comparing 25 y.o. and 40y.o. male) and this is the reason why lately L-arginine become popular (to compensate the level of this NO which can be btw produced by saliva from some green vegetables)

~ What a great video! This is *exactly* what I was looking for. I just pulled the lemon balm out of my garden thinking it was as invasive as some of the other minds....then I saw your video....I run out two minutes later, to put the lemon balm back in the garden. Too funny... Thank you, for the awesome information, from your new subscriber!

[@thyme2grow676]

Oh that’s too funny!! Glad you saved it! Lol. It will not send out tubers and spread like traditional mint plants, but it will get bigger every year and re seed and get bushy - easy fix with some cutters and a spade. And the fragrance is amazing! Thanks for sharing your story! 😂

I love this video

Best video about mint so far.

Thank you for a wonderful video. I have been watching all the videos I could find because I want to grow some mint. I find your videos the best

I have decided to try to encourage more bees and butterflies in my part of UK, so, for a bit of fun, I have planted a strawberry mint and a creeping thyme on a small patch of rough ground to see what happens! I hope they will spread, at least a little! Thank you. This is a beautiful video by, if I may say so, a beautiful presenter.

[@thyme2grow676]

Thank you very much! And great idea to encourage bees 🐝 they do love mint flowers! Enjoy and good luck!

I'm going to try growing mint indoors this year. I use so much of it. All I drink is mint water. I go through at least a gallon a day so I need lots of mint.

[@TracyAmor]

Thank you! One of my fav mint videos by far. So helpful. Thank you!

[@ameliatribeofissachar7311]

I really appreciate your vid on this. Now I want to go get each plant lol but that's a good thing. I have a few already. I grow sweet leaf too and add to mine. It's so good and so healing to our bodies. For me its no to all cancer causing sugars in my tea.

Thank you! Glad to hear from another mint lover!

Thank you!

Loved your video. I just have a large pot of spearmint right now but might snag a few others next year. Thanks for your insight and help.

[@rodb335]

Depending on what nutrients the plant has an even when it's picked these mints will have slightly different taste I can say for sure the chocolate mint is one of my favorites and at certain times during the day it does resemble Nature's Andes Candies to me at certain times with certain plants I can definitely taste an under note of chocolate it's amazing as tea when picked at the right time

[@skip-raft129]

A couple Peppermint leaves into the coffee!

Hi. I just found your channel. I’m a new subscriber and I hope to find more videos from you. Great video well done 👏🏻. Will mint survive winter planted in containers? If the mint will not survive winter in containers what can be done to save them. Thank you for the video. God Bless.

[@jocerod123]

I got mojito mint and lemon balm… the lemon balm is thriving but the mojito is wilting… I keep the soul moist. 🤷‍♀️

[@Brandon-uu6po]

Can you help me I just got a pepper mint and I don’t know how much water I suppose to give it

[@patriciagonzales7258]

I just started growing mint and I pulled a hand full and rinsed it real good and put it in a container with water. After a few day I noticed about 20 little black balls in the water, so I threw out the water and rinsed the mint again real good and placed it in fresh water again. After a few hours about 5 black balls appeared in the water again. What is wrong with my mint? Are these bugs???

[@rosehavenfarm2969]

I love our lemon balm. It likes to spread via seeding. We also have something that was called "sweet mint". I had never heard of it, but it's doing well. Doesn't smell as strongly as peppermint. Have you heard of it? Then there's the "cat mint." It's not catnip, though. It's lovely, likes a hot, dry area in our garden; it gets over 5 feet tall every year. There's a lovely aroma by it on a sunny afternoon, which I don't notice with the other mints here. I'll certainly get some bedding plants of the different varieties I can find, next time I visit one. Thanks for the terrific video.

[@thyme2grow676]

Thank you for watching! And thank you for sharing some other varieties of mint with me! I wonder if sweet mint is another name for spearmint?! I love that there are so many flavours of mint!

[@makeoversbymeme2077]

I just found myself a berries n cream mint 😊

[@sharonross4535]

Will container mints survive winter? Or is there something that needs to be done to save them through the winter?

[@rosehavenfarm2969]

@@thyme2grow676 it's not spearmint, that I know.

[@rosehavenfarm2969]

@@sharonross4535 you don't want the roots to freeze, otherwise the plant will die. I would dig a hole near the house, big enough to fit the entire pot up to the brim, put it in the hole. Cut the mint plant down to 3-4 inches (dry what you cut for mint tea this winter!) Then mulch with dry leaves, dry grass clippings, etc. When it gets a little warm again in the spring, Check fornew growth - time to lift the pot,.

It doesn’t tell you what to spray on plant if they get a fungus like mine has

[@OakTree-LandScapeOnFacBook]

Is there any mint types that are harmful to us?

[@jime3540]

I can't identify mine:( it is very small compared to the ones here. The most large leave its like one of your finger or less. Seems a little like strawberry mint but with brown stick that bounces in all directions I'm not very good with English but I hope someone understand me because I wanna know what kind of mint I have

[@erikgordon6893]

i grew some "peppermint" variety but some are fuzzy and some aren't..any ideas why? i thought maybe the seeds in the package were mixed or some other plant that looks similar started to grow next to them.im hesitant to use them now

[@allupinya5938]

Dont eat them mildew might give you reactions shouldn't be fuzzy

[@wadebednarick220]

I ordered peppermint seeds on Am-azon and it does not look like her peppermint and does not taste like peppermint. It looks more like the lemon mint she showed us and has a balmy lemon kind of weird flavor. I don't like it for mint tea. I think you and I just got the wrong seeds somehow. Here's a clue I think; if they produce seeds then perhaps they are not the hybrid of spearmint x watermint as peppermint is supposed to be. I have read that peppermint is not supposed to produce seeds or at least not viable seeds. I am new at this. Next summer I'm trying a different source. This was a let-down.

[@Youdontknowmeson1324]

Lemon balm isn’t a mint it’s in a different genus and mountain mint isn’t either

[@slimtruckdaddy]

Is chocolate mint does taste a little bit like chocolate. I bought two of them. I was impressed
