    I'm an introvert so it's difficult for me to leave a comment.

    I do enjoy doing business with you because you are trustworthy and dependable.

    Thank you!

    I started these off in my Aerogarden—3 seeds per pod in 2 pods—and both pods sprouted within a week. I let them continue to grow in the Aerogarden for maybe about 6 weeks before transplanting them into pots, and I've been clipping leaves from it here and there to use in my tea or just to munch on, but mostly, I just love the smell of mint in my home. I think they taste good, but peoples opinions on that will vary, obviously.

    They are quite happy with in their little pots with a little grow light above them, and I am quite happy with them as well!
