My mother did not plant her mint in a pot and we were constantly finding volunteers over the entire vegetable garden and backyard. A pot should help with that issue! Love the idea of keeping a plant under the spigot so it waters itself! Side note, one brother and I secretly collected all the mint leaves we could find, dried them, and tried to smoke them. It cured us of our elementary school fascination with smoking pretty quickly :D.
Mint in a pot - making it behave itself; under a tap - the moisture it craves. A great idea! (of course, Sarah already said that, but I wanted to, too) :)
I should try this. We're soon going to have to completely rip out ALL my mint to make room for a patio (poured concrete was the original vision, but I've since revised the vision to pea gravel, I think--which I know you've done! {Do you have any regrets?!} If we can afford it, we'll build a short stone wall around the pea gravel patio....). Anyhow. A few years ago my husband and a couple of guys ripped it all out, thinking it was WEEDS. I was so upset because it was mint that my mother had planted.
I needn't have worried. Somehow that mint magically returned...in spades. Of course.
Feel free to Pin my photos, but please link back to the page you found them on.
Photography
Photography is an important part of life at my house. Photos that appear here are taken by Giles, by the Composer, and by me. Giles is a real, paid photographer, and he uses a Sony Alpha. Most of the photography prior to September 2008 is his. Since then I have done most of the shooting and I use a Konica Minolta. Additionally, the Composer offers me nice shots on occasion, often from his little Canon point and shoot. I've given up trying to note who's done what. Thanks for your interest!
