I need to see if there is enough mint in the planter for a batch.
Maybe I will mix it with lemon balm if I need more. Right now I am
waiting for my bell and jalapeno peppers to turn red. The green jelly
never looks very good and adding food coloring does nothing for it.

Barb,

Clip the top three inches off one of those mint sprigs. Put it in a
glass of water. Roots will sprout rather quickly. Plant it out in your
garden. If you don't contain it, you'll soon have more mint than
you'll ever want/need and wish that you didn't.
It's one of the most invasive plants imaginable. Worse than Jerusalem
Artichokes. We've got both here and they're kind of like kudzu of the
North.

Ross.
