LOL No snow, but it rained all day yest. I did what I could in the greenhouse, transplanting and shuffling to make more room, but everything is at a standstill. I have no more room to transplant, and when this wave goes out, I have one set to replace it and then they’re just going to have to have patience!

One woman yest bought a whole flat—48 cell-of spearmint. I deliberately sowed it thick so I could thin it and make more. She set the flat on the counter and I told her, “Ma’am, that is a hellacious amount of mint. It’s going to take over your whole garden.”

“Oh, I don’t care.”

She’ll be sorry! :) Oh, well. I tried.

“It’s going to take over your whole garden.”

Rookie Gardener mistake! I LOVED the scent of Chocolate Mint, and bought a 4” pot at a Farm Market way back when and planted it at the edge of my garden.

Biggest gardening mistake I’ve made to date, LOL!

But...it’s soon to be surpassed by my planting of ‘Kiss Me Over The Garden Gate’ last season which is now taking over part of the garden. *SIGH*

As Grandpa used to say, ‘Too soon old, and too late smart!’
