Here’s my edible plant:  
It’s a peppermint leaf bush that’s been thriving since I was 4. I’ve been taking care of it with my grandpa.

Wholly molley! That’s a tonne of mint!!! 😍😍😍

Sometimes I don’t know what to do with it. I’m planning on creating a stall to sell it but only if I could manage it.

#### Snowstorm replied on 2025-04-24

Oh that’s a good idea if you can manage! It grows so fast you’d have an endless supply! I’m trying to grow some for home use from seed so I’m jealous of your patch!

#### Toaster replied on 2025-04-24

Yeah. It’s extremely difficult to grow it from seed but the mint bush I have was professionally set. We took already grown mints from a grocery store and planted outside the house. It continuously spreads now and sometimes gets even bigger during the summer.

Oh yea I’ve heard that mint kinda takes over the place and multiplies. That would be a nice smelling lawn!! 🤭 I had some mint props from my mum’s mint plant but they got powdery milddew and couldn’t be saved so I’m trying from seed, which is proving VERY tricky. Even RIGHT under a grow light they’re getting leggy and are super slow growing, with the tiiiiiiiniest leafs. I might have to do the grocery store prop if these guys don’t take off well.

Are you growing an indoor mint plant or outdoor? Also I respect the dedication.

What do y’all do with all that peppermint?

#### Toaster replied on 2025-04-24

I sometimes give bunches of it to family and relatives. My mom also likes making stuff with the mint like chutney.

#### PlantRocker318 replied on 2025-04-24

That’s awesome!
