My mint is looking a little sad. I'm wondering if it's going to flower at all this year. Oh, well, it's my first year growning it. I think it might be getting a bit too much sun, some of the leaves are turning brown and falling off. Maybe if I moved the pots to a more shaded area?

dame, it will consume your whole yard. I don't think that you can hurt the mint. I just pull mine up when it gets unruly and it grows back with no problems, but you must keep it in check, unless you want mint growing everywhere. You can just whack it back if it starts looking bad after it has gone to see and it'll just pop right back out. I don't like for mine to get tall. It's tough and not tender.
