We also managed to get the plants we bought on Saturday in the ground. I have put the garden mint plant in a pot, in the ground, to keep those roots in tow. Mint does love to take over a herb patch if you are not careful, so planting it in a pot makes it easier to manage. In fact to show how strong willed mint can be I was amazed to find growing, really well in an old pot that had been outside all winter, a lemon mint I bought two years ago. I completely forgot about it. The roots where jam-packed and there was plenty of dead stems pointing between the few leaves. I was brutal and ripped them off and took away some of the excess roots. We shall see if it can survive that.
