Dividing Mint

 

Finally we have a day with no rain ( so far). I shouldn't complain because for us it's a small irritation but to many especially out of town there is flooding again.  We didn't even try to walk at Willband. No doubt the paths are under water again. So we walked at Fish Trap Creek where there was evidence of water having covered the paths but now had receded.

The forecast for today is for some clouds and a high of 12C.  I've been waiting for a day when I could tackle my pots of mint. They are very much in need of dumping out then cutting the plant in 3 or 4 pieces one of  which I'll replant and find good homes for the rest. There are always people who will gladly take free plants. Even Mint.




All done. I ended up having one more pot of mint than I started out with. I now need to wash the area and put away the wheelbarrow then I'm done!!

 I hope you're having a pleasant weekend.  Thanks for taking time to come and visit.   GM

  6. Lovely! I love mint tea! It's not always easy to have rain. I used to live out near to where you live in Langley/ fort Langley/ Walnut Grove. Depending on the year and the first month and a half I was there. I came in a January. It rained everyday. That was not easy! God be with you and bring some sunshine!!

  18. I admire your perseverance with the repotting of the mint! It does quickly take over when planted in a bed, but we love it and my husband is the one who takes care of it. Good job, You!
