when to sow
March to April
Where to Sow
Sow seeds under glass 0.5cm (¼") deep, in small trays of compost and lightly cover the seeds with a sprinkling of compost and place at a temperature of 15-20°C.
What to do next
Prick out seedlings individually to 7cm (3") pots, once large enough to handle. Grow on in cooler conditions, then gradually harden off plants in a cold frame before planting out after the risk of frost has passed. Transplant to final positions 30cm (12in) apart or into larger containers in a semi-shaded part of the garden. Cut the leaves, as required, a few from each plant so that they will regrow quickly. Leaves can be frozen for later use.
HARVEST
They can be harvested for at least six months of the year when grown outside. The leaves at any time. For drying, harvest the leaves before the flowers appear. It pays to cut the top leaves first because this will encourage the plant to shoot out again further down the stem. Do not strip the plant of all its leaves.
HANDY TIP
Harvest the leaves before the plants' flower. Best planted in containers sunk in the ground to prevent the creeping roots from spreading around the garden.
USES
The classic mint for sauce, particularly with lamb, and great when used to flavour peas and new potatoes.
