I've reached that quiet stage in the growing season.
The plants only need minimal care and watering, and I've not yet started getting gluts of anything to start preserving.
I decided to use my afternoon in the garden to tidy up the greenhouse a bit and try growing some herb cuttings.
I'm pretty confident that the mint will survive the process. I'm not even sure it's possibly to kill a mint plant. The chives, however, seem to be a bit more of a delicate plant to me. I've separated the huge chunk I had into three. Fingers crossed they all survive and I will get plenty of chive plants to sell on my plant stall next year.

I agree mint is a hard plant to kill.
ReplyDeleteI struggle to grow mint on a flannel - but thrilled that i divided my clump of chives in Leicester and they are thriving in my new Dorset garden. I also have mint, rosemary, thyme [2 sorts] and sage. The slugs ate my beans and courgettes - so it is lots of herbs and no 'solid' veg!!
