Got a small 'mint' plant from waitrose the other day, and the mint tastes
much better than the mint plant i have in a pot in the garden.

I am going to try to root some stems in some water inside the house.
Meanwhile wife is taking leaves to put in salad etc. Since i have not had
any root yet, it is a race against time.

Should wife just take leaves from the bottom of stems and i take the top
leaves and stem to try and root them, or is it better she just take one
whole stem at a time?


I bought a bunch of cut mint before Christmas and didn't use it all.
I stuck it in water, looking very sad. It now has good roots and is
growing new shoots. Just take off leaves at the bottom and put it in
a jar of water.
If they're long enough you could cut off the tops and root those too.
