Who knows their mints, please

last modified: 5 years ago

Pic 1 - These two mints were bought as "Garden Mint" from supermarkets over the last couple of years, and have lived, in pots, on the window sill.

I am guessing they are Spearmint or Peppermint, but both smell different. but similar.

Top L is Lemon Balm(?) which I rescued along with the mint following.

Pic 2 - 4 - This one was rescued when I had the first phase of the garden overhaul done. Again, definately a mint but it has, to me, an 'odd' smell. Not too sure I like it.

Pic 5 - is the mint box to show the comparative sizes.

I have grown mints on and off for years, but I have NEVER been able to pick a spig and go - "this is xxx" or " this is yyy".

TIA
