Can anyone tell me why my mint plant is getting these yellow/white leaves? I didn’t think to take a picture before picking off most of the dead leaves. But alot of them were this white looking color. It’s been outdoors and doing so well until now

I want to add; it has rained alot this past week in PA. Could overwatering have caused this?

Overwatering and overcrowding possibly.
