Can you believe that my mint has all but dissappeared? I have to own up and say that it was in an area that has been overtaken by flowerpots etc.
Serves me right for not looking after it.
Marjoram,French tarragon and oregano (my favourite herb) fairing considerably better but not looking as smart as yours Tim!

I'm not proud of it - this is despite cutting back so that we have continuity & not all going to seed at once.

Tim, ours is rampant.

On GW last night Sarah Raven said to cut it back to two inches mid June. I've never done this before, is it a good idea? All I normally do is chop it all off in the winter.

I threw out a plant of mint into old newpaper recycling tub... and repotted the new mint... anyway the old mint is going like hell despite no water or soil!
