Mint
The woody herb is often sweet, savoury, or peppery, and it smells amazing. Basil has been used how in almost every place within the world and has collected its own interesting history throughout the ages. (For a century or two, basil was thought to spawn scorpions.)
Basil belongs to the Labiatae (Lamiaceae), alongside rosemary, oregano, thyme, and a number of other other popular herbs.
Our favourite basil varieties are the classic sweet basil (Ocimumbasilicum), Genovese basil, Thai basil, and dwarf basil. Sweet basil may be a favourite among the Upstart Farmers.
Herbs are far more profitable than leafy greens, and may be an incredible crop line for market growers. The pricing you receive will vary counting on your market. for instance , Direct to Consumer markets sort of a CSA can often see prices as high as $2 or $3 an oz , while wholesale markets like restaurants may land within the $1 to $1.50 an oz range.
A recent price check at Target revealed that a 3/4 ounce clamshell package was retailing for $2.00, which comes bent $2.66 an oz at the purpose of sale. A general rule of thumb is that wholesale pricing are going to be 40% to 50% of retail price.
Mint is a perennial with very fragrant, toothed leaves and tiny purple, pink, or white flowers. It has a fruity, aromatic taste.
There are many varieties of mint—all fragrant, whether shiny or fuzzy, smooth or crinkled, bright green or variegated. However, you can always tell a member of the mint family by its square stem. Rolling it between your fingers, you’ll notice a pungent scent and think of candy, sweet teas, or maybe even mint juleps.
As well as kitchen companions, mints are used as garden accents, ground covers, air fresheners, and herbal medicines. They’re as beautiful as they are functional, and they’re foolproof to grow, thriving in sun and shade all over North America. In fact, mint can be vigorous spreaders, so be careful where you plant it
PLANTING
- Mints are vigorous perennials that thrive in light soil with good drainage.
- Ideally, they prefer a moist but well-drained site, something like their native habitat along stream banks.
- Most will tolerate some shade, and the variegated types may require some protection from direct sun.
- For growing outdoors, plant one or two purchased plants (or one or two cuttings from a friend) about 2 feet apart in moist soil. One or two plants will easily cover the ground. Mint should grow to be 1 or 2 feet tall.
- For the best growth in confined areas such as containers, topdress plants with a thin layer of compost or organic fertilizer every few months. Aboveground pots will need winter protection in cold climates.
- In the garden, plant mint near cabbage and tomatoes.

Within a your budget you can freshen up your plant with a few key upgrades that will increase your home’s curb appeal. A new gravel driveway or concrete walkway can make your home look like new. Small budgets are good for breaking up a larger project into manageable chunks, so you might splurge for a nice walkway this year and deal with the driveway later.
