One of my daughters has kindly given me a 500g tub of mint, all ready
prepared for pony to have mixed in her feed. It cost approx £7

BOGGLE.

and I really
wonder if it is worth all the trouble of growing and preparing the mint to
the same high standard when it can be bought for so little money.

Mint is absolutely irrepressible and foolproof :-) You could grow a tub
like that every month for nothing.

It's not foolproof! The OH managed to kill a large tub of it the year
before last. 'twas only then I realised how difficult it can be to get
your hands on some common garden mint which, IMO, has the best
flavour. Everywhere round here was only selling those designer mints
that are supposed to taste of apple, banana, strawberry .. anything
but mint.
