# I have some mint that was planted last year, it did not sprout until…

_Posted by Savannah🧚🏼‍♀️✨ on 2023-06-21_

I have some mint that was planted last year, it did not sprout until this spring. I assume I tilled up the soil enough to get them to grow. How should I go about Harvesting this mint? I would like to possible dry it for future use, like a seasoning possibly? Any tips are greatly appreciated😄
