Mint

Fresh mint is back. Nothing else like it in your tea, but unavailable from late October to April.

I don’t know if the previous occupants of the house were mint-mad and planted it in a large patch near the gate in the back yard, and partly along the fence, and the sidewalk, and back behind the garage, and next to the air conditioner in the side yard I only visit to mow, and in other places I probably haven’t discovered yet. Or whether it’s a benevolent weed and grows wild. In either case, I can have as much as I want in the warm months, so fecund is the plant.
