I hope to hear from some of you that are really into this group of plants. Happy Gardening!!! J.N. Attachments: Quote \| Reply \| Report

Look around a bit and you'll find our mint fanatics - we have some! I recommend the "herbs" forum for starters, and "container gardening". Enjoy! Quote \| Reply \| Report
