I have mint at the backyard. But it is not that I planted them nor I am a big fan of it. I have only a few herbs growing in my garden which are my favourites, rosemary and parsley and from to time I plant coriander as well. How I got mint? Well, our next door neighbor before planted mint along the side of her fence and because this is a kind of plant that spreads so quickly and can even take over your garden or yard if given a chance, they grow and spread past the fence and into my garden. I have to pull them out from time to time but they keep on coming back. Somehow, I still managed to get rid of them in my garden and now they grow just along the side of our fence. The mower controls them. I don't want to completely get rid of them for I use the fresh leaves every time I make fruit cocktail. Some use it in tea or even iced tea for flavour or garnish but I haven't tried it yet. And some make it into jelly or sauce for food flavouring or marinate.

This post about your mint reminds me of the mint that my mother-in-law had growing outside her back door. Yes, it spread like crazy. We enjoyed drinking mint tea together. I miss her.
