We just started doing this to our trashy area in the back! Not planting mint, but making an extended flower garden. Great minds think alike! Have a wonderful evening, Tessie.

[@joannetaggart4136]

Mint is a good choice. Smells great and spreads and will give you ground cover. I bet you're so very happy to be working and tilling the ground outside. Good to visit with you Tessie. Good night and God bless. ❤

Good morning, Tessie. Spending the days outside, working in the garden and on the property, is the best. We did some of the same over the weekend. That area is going to look fantastic when the mint grows in. I'm taking an herbalism course so I can learn more about the plants and their uses, and in the class about mint, the instructor said, "Mint, or tea, as it's also called.". I thought of you. Have a blessed day! ☺

I had to leave my mint garden behind when we moved, but this year I'm replanting it. I do love my mint tea. Did you know that mint also discourages mice and mosquitos? We had it all around our farm house, and I think it really helped.

[@theroadlesstraveled3993]

Hi Tessie! Love your videos 😊 Just wanted to offer some unsolicited advice. That mint will take over your raised bed with other herbs and it's hard to thin out once the roots get established. Since you have it planted in that other spot, and it will produce an abundance, I suggest keeping it out of your herb bed. Maybe plant some lemon balm or chammomile too! 😊 But that's just my humble opinion 😊

Hi Tessie catching up on your videos 🎉 was gone camping. Missed you SO MUCH! Was wondering if you can HELP finally (3years ) saved enough for a solar generator unit can you tell the hubby and I what you recommend ❤

[@HomesteadTessie]

Hello my friend it's so good to hear from you again before I recommend anything to you I think I need to make it very clear these solar power units are great to have to back up small power with that being said I'm not sure exactly what you're looking to do there are a wide variety of solar power units but keep in mind they don't power up major items the most that they can do is power up lights your internet small small appliances and things like that if you let me know exactly what you're wanting to use it for I can recommend one based on that

[@MyWyoStyle]

@@HomesteadTessie thank you again Tessie for taking time out to answer our question we do have 190 W solar panel charger for our camper to keep the batteries charged. Looking for something that I can run my CPAP through the night. Also a unit that we charge our phones if that’s possible I don’t have any electric small appliances in my camper, but would like to be able to charge our flashlights, phones and tablets too while we’re camping. Would also be handy at the house when the power does go out for the same reasons. Thanks again ☺️
