I have Lemon Mint seeds and young seedlings as well as Pennyroyal and Grapefruit Mint seeds if you are interested in those. I do have one small Lime Mint pot I could take a fresh cutting off of also. I have Peppermint, Spearmint, Chocolate Mint, Orange Mint, Lime Mint, Lemon Mint, Pennyroyal seeds, and Lemon Balm. I am interested in any mint I don't already have just like you. I am also interested in Lemongrass, Lemon Verbena, Lemon Thyme, and seeds for Lemon Basil.

Wow! I would LOVE to have all these mints, how awesome would that be!!!?? Unfortunately I only have two, and I have no idea what the first is, We've just called it mint - so maybe it's peppermint. It has bumpy leaves. I also have some chocolate mint, that seems to be doing ok, but seeing as you're a mint guru of sorts (with so much experience with mint, maybe I can ask you something mint related? When I planted my chocolate mint, it was purply in color. Now, it SEEMS to be thriving, but when I take a closer look, it seems that only a few sprouts are purply in color. The other HUGE bunch that came up right next to it has very little to NO purple left in it.. not sure if its' in my head, but it seems to smell a little different to. Do you think some other mint grew there? or are there weeds that grow near mint to disguise themselves? Or maybe my soil isn't giving it what it needs to maintain its purply color?? Thanks for any help! Sorry I couldn't offer anything new to your mint collection! :)

The famous gardener, Alan Chadwick, recommended planting mint near the garden faucet. That way, every time you turn on the water, the mint gets a splash. It loves to be moist. The soil should be nice and rich. I top dress mine with composted cow manure, or even better, make manure tea. A nice write-up on mint can be found at the website below.
