Mint


So, now I'm hooked on word definitions. Say you're from Germany and you are trying to learn English. The word mint could really confuse you.

Mint (def.):

any aromatic herb of the genus Mentha
a soft or hard confection
a place where coins are produced
a vast amount
intent; purpose

Shown here are two types of mint I just froze to keep for another day. The top picture is pineapple mint. I'm not crazy about it. The bottom is orange mint, which is spectacular. I put it many different drinks and always take a bite when I'm in the garden. It grows like a weed and spreads like crazy. I have almost a dozen little plants that came from one mama plant.

  1. Actually I am German,thank you so much for your informative english lesson :), the last two definitions for the word 'mint' I did not know yet!
    This is really a good idea to serve mint leaves: in ice-cubes. But the mints in my garden are not far enough to harvest.

  2. Very nice, I attempted to grow mint from seedlings not once but twice this year with no luck.
    I like your idea of freezing them.
