But you are so right by looking atthe benefit it nrings when in bloom. Oregano is another that will naturalize and take over a garden bed.<br /><br />But these are easy to maintian if you plant them in a bottomless, tall, plastic pot like you bring a plant home for the nuresy in. Keep the edge of the pot about the soil line. This will keep the roots contained and hel;p keep it from creeping. You just need to keep it from attaching itself to the ground by running your hand around the edge.<br /><br />Doreen PollackGarden Goddesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05800603905160724876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6115987245936908156.post-527969210519598782010-02-01T18:16:05.241-07:002010-02-01T18:16:05.241-07:00Sorry I was late to the post!

(I tried to overlook this fact again this year and foolishly planted an apple mint on the edge of my potager... it's not content there, apparently and has transferred itself to the middle of the plot and tripled in size. Yikes! But I tell myself the bees love the blooms, so at least I'm getting some pollination out of my mistake.)Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11454557080455458675noreply@blogger.com
