Another great tutorial!👍 I l also grow mint to dry for winter tea and to give as gifts. I love my chocolate mint most.😋
Sounds wonderful. Thank you for sharing and for your comment!😊
Just came across your videos. I'm new to the gardening scene and am definitely nervous, but your videos are so detailed and helpful, I'm sure I can do it! Please don't stop sharing your videos, you're awesome.
Love to hear it! I am sure you can do it too. Go for it💪😊 Happy growing and thank you so much for your inspiring comment!
Glad I came across your channel, you make everything look so easy. I need to go back and remove my mint from my planter box and put it in a pot. Good thing I just planted it a couple of days ago.
Glad you like my channel. Not sure what size your planter box is, but usually you should be able grow mint in them too. Growing in pots is better to control the spreading. Happy growing and thank you so much for your comment!
Another great video and one I really appreciated! Few days ago I picked up a free packet of spearmint seeds at the seed library (local library). Ready... set... germinate!😃
Wonderful! Happy growing and thank you so much for your comment!🌱
A great and simple video. Very informative. Enjoyed watching. Thanks for sharing.

So glad you found it helpful. Thank you so much!💚
I love it.
I buy small starter plants of Moroccan mint which is spearmint, I think.
When it begins to flower and I pinch out the leaves, I get the dreaded "stiff stem".
Am I the only one that hates the "stiff stem"?
I have to tell you that your videos mesmerize me.
They're great!!!
Next year I'll try from seed.
Thank you for sharing. There is something magical about mint and we cannot get enough of them either. Happy gardening and thank you so much for your comment!
Great video! I noticed that my spearmint has white dots covering the leaves. Any thoughts on what might be causing this? Looking for some advice. Thanks!
Most probably the leaves are effected by spider mites, specially if you can notice any tiny webs underside the leaves. Or it can be because of other pests or fungus. The best is to spray neem oil mix on both side of the leaves (1oz of 100% cold pressed neem oil + 1 tsp of dish soap in 1 gallon of room temp.) Hope this helps and thank you so much for your comment!
What type of black trays are the ones you use in the video? I would like these specific ones to use for my own planting. Just trying to figure out what to exactly look for
I am re-using containers from grocery and for vegetables That black one is from mushroom container. You can use any tray at least 2" deep and add holes for drainage. Thank you for visiting!
What if you don’t have fish water what else can you fertilize with?
I didn't mean fish water. Fish fertilizer is a consentrate emulsion available in general garden centers. Here is the link on amazon amzn.to/3QwupoY . On my other video I showed how to mix it ua-cam.com/video/ao9ZbWBVRwo/v-deo.htmlsi=Z1wCPXb7Jkv02F8G (toward middle of the video). And if you cannot find fish fertilizer, any water soluble fertilizer high in nitrogen will work too. Hope this helps and thank you for visiting!
Great video! Very simple and straightforward. 💜👍🪴
Glad you liked it! Thank you so much for your comment!😊
after sowing seeds where to keep the tray or pot? in my city temperature is about 25 Celsius in day can I sow peppermint seeds?
You can keep them in a bright place, but not in direct sunlight. Part shade is the best. Yes, seed will most likely germinate in 25C. Happy growing and thank you for visiting!
Why did you cover the hole with Rock how will water go out?
The holes on terracotta pots are usually large and soil washes away when watering. I place few pieces of curved rocks or tiles around the draining holes to keep the soil inside and also to stop them clogging up. Hope this helps and thank you for visiting!
Can I plant the seeds straight in a big pot outdoors?
Mint seeds are a bit tricky to germinate and it is much easier if you start them in seed trays. But you can start outdoors too (1-2 weeks after your average last frost date). Thanks for visiting.
@@TowardGarden noted 😁👍thank you for your reply.
Can you water in the middle when the soil dries out?and give it a good soak?
Yes, you should keep the soil wet and avoid letting it dry out. Any time of the day is ok. Thank you for visiting!
Thank you for the advice and happy gardening.
Will surely keep it moist maybe with a transparent plastic bag with some holes placed over the opening.
Great channel and highly informative 👍
The plastic bag may be good for seed germination, but I don't recommend it for plants. It will increase the chance of fungal disease. That is why it is better to water at soil level. Happy growing!🌱
Very greatful for a very useful tip Thank you ,for your time ,efforts and most ofall your dedication.
