Fresh mint on my mango tastes delicious. I chop the mint up finely so that the perfume is released into the kitchen. Another thing to do is take some mint leaves in a bag if the walk is just before lunch, or just before the evening meal. Hunger might make me walk inside a fast food shop. Instead I squeeze the leaves of the mint in my hand to smell that instead of the aromas of fast food. Fast food shops that I am walking right on past, without going inside.
I have brought some of my 25 year old mint plant in a pot to this new place. Thankfully it remains alive. After removing the bottom leaves of a sprig for use in the kitchen I plant the remaining stalk with a few top leaves left on the top of it, to get a whole lot more mint plants growing. There is no such thing as having too much mint growing. Mint is very new-gardener friendly plant. It would be well worth trying to grow some bought from the fresh herbs section of the supermarket, or one already growing in a pot from a nursery may be turned into several plants.
