Second Chance for Mint

I have been told that mint makes the perfect houseplant, because it is almost impossible to kill. In fact, mint is absurdly vigorous and invasive. Unless confined in a sturdy container, mint will take over your garden and subjugate your lawn. If you forget to lock your doors at night, mint will sneak into your house (or your apartment) and get your wife pregnant.

But a few years ago I murdered a pot that a friend gave to me. Apparently, not even mint could survive my towering neglect. Now I’m trying again. Looks pretty good so far, doesn’t it?

Well, so far anyway.
