Here is a gardening tip for you. Mint grows very fast and spreads quickly, so many experts advise against planting it directly in the ground. Instead, grow mint indoors or keep it contained outdoors in pots. Burying a container in the ground can also help control spreading by slowing underground roots, though aboveground runners will still need regular trimming. If you want to use mint as ground cover in a larger space, expect to manage its spread carefully. Frequent pruning of runners and monitoring for new shoots in surrounding areas are essential to keep it from escaping into unwanted parts of your garden. For a less invasive alternative with the same refreshing flavor and pollinator-friendly blooms, try native mountain mint, it’s easier to manage and perfect for cooking or steeping in tea.
We just need to take out our chuckle machine, press play, and the joke of the day will begin. It’s entitled “Getting a Word in.”
A housewife with three young children was getting dinner ready when the phone rang. The six-year-old, Chloe, picked it up and said:
“Hi, Daddy!”
And she began telling him about her day. She then passed the phone to her brother and sister, as was the custom whenever dad called from work. When it was finally the wife’s turn to talk, she took the receiver and said:
“Hi, honey.”
“Thank goodness, lady, this is Danny, and I just called to tell you that the wallpaper you ordered is here! Next time you order, I’ll just email you instead.”
