Take care of your Mint

Water your potted Mint little but often and keep in a warm place on your kitchen bench. When replanting your Mint in your garden, make sure you isolate it from your other herbs as it will creep out and soon takes the whole garden space for itself:) Keep your pre-cut pack of Mint in the vegetable compartment of your fridge.
