Talking about Peppermint (Mentha x piperita 'Swiss'), SongofJoy wrote:Harvesting of mint leaves can be done any time. Fresh mint leaves can be stored up to a couple of days in plastic bags in the refrigerator. Fresh mint leaves can also be frozen in ice cube trays. Dried mint leaves should be stored in an airtight container placed in a cool, dark, dry area.
Mints are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Buff Ermine.
Mints are said to make good companion plants, repelling pest insects and attracting beneficial ones. Mint oil is also used as an environmentally-friendly insecticide and is reported to kill some common pests like wasps, hornets, ants, and cockroaches.
Mints are susceptible to whitefly and aphids.

Talking about Apple Mint (Mentha suaveolens), SongofJoy wrote:Bruise the leaves and put them in a pitcher of ice water for a refreshing drink or mix Apple Mint and Chamomile. Fresh or dried Apple Mint leaves can be used to make a delicious Apple Mint Jelly. Fresh leaves can also be used as a garnish and in salads.
Easy to grow, but can be invasive. Consider growing Apple Mint in a container or raised bed. |

Talking about Chocolate Mint (Mentha x piperita 'Chocolate'), SongofJoy wrote:I grew this from a small sprig. It is vigorous and hardy here and has a wonderful smell and taste.
