Kingfisher (real name Ursula Vernon). the title character is an avid gardener and one of my favourite lines in the whole book is when she revisits her old garden after a time away and declares 'Is that mint?! In the ground?!?!' Haha I love mint, but it stays in a hanging basket in my garden. Saying that my herb garden has gone nuts by itself anyway! I've got a sage plant that's trying to take over the world i'm pretty sure! xx #picnmixAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17788630399983153965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7430797975468547782.post-57297707210530477442016-10-02T12:05:12.500+01:002016-10-02T12:05:12.500+01:00With a bit of patience, it's easier to remove ...With a bit of patience, it's easier to remove mint from a border than you might think. First of all, dig up that rosemary, clean the earth from its roots over a bucket (discard that earth afterwards!). Check carefully that all the mint root bits have been removed. Then replant it somewhere else, perhaps in a pot for now. Leave the mint border bare till the spring. Then you'll see the new mint shoots coming up from any remaining bits of root. Keep digging them up until no more appear. Then give the border a careful fork over when the soil's dry(ish) to get out any remaining roots. You should be ok to replant the border in the summer and then celebrate with a glass of wine or six.JohnKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14287357763171250125noreply@blogger.com
