Let's talk about one of the coolest, quite literally, plants in your garden and that would be mint. Mint is really not too hard to grow, provided you avoid a couple common traps,

and why not spice it up by growing

a couple different types of mint

that are a little bit more unique,

let's say,

than the standard peppermint or spear mint.

Those are both fantastic, but you can grow menttha citrata.

That would be orange mint, menthe aquatica, water mint, menthe

suavellelens, apple mint or pineapple mint, and then menthe

pulegium, I believe is how you say it, penny royal.

Now the exact origins of mint are, I believe unknown.

Certainly I don't know them and it seems like the Epic Gardening team doesn't know them either. So if anyone does know

the origins of mint I would love to know it. Now it was

introduced to England by the Romans and later the new world by pilgrims. It is

widely distributed throughout pretty much everywhere in the world and it's

been naturalized in almost every continent.

Maybe not Antarctica, I suppose.

Maybe not South America, I'm not sure.

But certainly Eurasia, Australia, North America, and Africa.

Now, mint plants, they all have characteristics that are the same.

They have square stems.

Interesting.
