# hello !! i am relatively new to gardening. i’ve begun my journey…

_Postat av sophia den 2025-08-11_

hello !! i am relatively new to gardening. i’ve begun my journey mainly with herbs, one of which is my spearmint. she’s doing wonderfully (many new sprouts), but there’s one thing i’ve never seen before — it actually has tree-like branches and a hefty, woody stem.

so as a newbie i ask: is this normal? is it actually the bottom of my plant being dead? did i just go my whole life without knowing that’s how spearmint grows? any explanation is appreciated greatlyyyy :)
