My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

black specks on mint

15 years ago

I harvested wild mint from my hay field, but when I dry it, hundreds of tiny black specks fall out. I'd like to use this mint for tea. Any ideas what these specks are? Could they be some kind of insect eggs?
