A Way to Garden with Margaret Roach - July 26, 2021 - Ken Druse on Mint Relatives

Don’t answer this question too quickly; take your time and think it over. How many mints are you growing in your garden? When Ken Druse suggested the other day to me that we talk about mints on the show. I thought, “Spearmint, peppermint, what?” 

But then I thought a moment longer and looked around and realized there were mint family relatives all over the garden, even unintentionally among the lawn weeds. So the many faces of mints is our topic today, but first these messages.

You all know Ken Druse, a regular visitor to the show and author of 20 garden books and also a longtime friend. When he’s not managing the antics of two troublemaking but gorgeous canines, he manages his extensive garden in New Jersey.
