The mint has grown wild, over a foot tall in the mint bed beside the terrace. So last night I took the shears to it and trimmed it right back. After a good watering, it will grow back quickly. The smell was amazing. I saved a bunch so for the next few days we will eating food with fresh mint in it – mint tea, cous cous, leeks vinaigrette, potato salad. 5 to remember
