Morning everyone and thanks, just a small bruise on my cheek, better then I thought. I recon the door frame came off worse lol. 
@JoOfVengerberg if your growing mint, put it in a bucket and not the ground, as it takes over 

My parents used to grow mint,they had a huge patch of it at the top of their garden,the neighbours would come round and help themselves to a big bunch of it every Sunday.

durhamjaide2001

Thank you I'm good in my part of the world. Hope @janer1967 and @SueHeath are good in their part of the world 

Sandy_123

It comes back every spring too

janer1967

My mum had mint growing in the garden and always put some in the pan with the new potatoes 

SueHeath

I'm good thanks @durhamjaide2001
Yep grow a few types of mint in my garden and yep your right it will take over if it's just planted directly into the ground, i leave mine in pots, their great for the Bee's as well if you leave it to flower, i'm of in my gardening brain again ha ha xx

Sandy_123

I love the smell of mint, the only thing I don't get is mint is green, yet in tooth paste and sweets it's white

Teigr

My mother would do the same @janer1967,she'd also make mint sauce which I absolutely hated.

SueHeath

Ha ha yep i still put mint in with new potatoes and peas in the summer, i love mince sauce @Teigr but prefer the one in the jar rather then fresh. It's a great herb to grow and use if your into that sort of thing, it makes a great Tea as well. x

Sandy_123

Also great for the yogurt dip with curry
Whats everyone's plans, I've got family arriving later, so enjoying the piece now

SueHeath

Oh yes @Sandy_123 love it   
You cooking for them all again today ? x

Sandy_123

No sue not today I don't even know what I'm cooking yet, I might do a stew then there will be plenty if they want some.  

SueHeath

No doubt they will be telling you all about the Zoo trip @Sandy_123 ha ha wonder if it's changed much x

janer1967

Sandy_123
