Before I left for the west coast, I conducted a wee experiment with a decaying mint sprig in a pot of dead cilantro. To recap, I took a sprig of mint that had spent a week in a jug of water in my fridge and jammed it in the soil. I took a fresh sprig of mint and did the same.
My suppositions were that the decaying sprig was displaying new growth, while the freshly cut sprig probably wouldn’t survive.
When I came back, this is what I found. You can see that the fresh sprig is in its death throes, but the zombie sprig?
Check out that new growth!
Who knew that freezing something a few times makes it grow?
lol. To my knowledge you can’t kill mint. Trust me, I’ve tried. I am not the only one with a garden infested with the darn stuff. I’m going to dig some up and put it into a pot, then take a roofer’s propane torch to the rest in yet another desperate attack. Wish me luck. And don’t turn your back on yours
Yeah the original batch is already trying to creep into our other pots.
