I didn't know that planting mint around the house discourages ants. I did hear that they do tend to overtake an outdoor garden, regardless of pest fighting properties.
I understand that a lot of little insects don't care for it....including spiders. I love to grow mint. That will be another one to replace this growing season since I left most of that at the hold house.
I didn't know about mint and ants. My soil next to the house is too sandy for mint-sadly, because otherwise I would plant it to keep out those pesky ants. Happy new week.
I can't find the comment word on today's post. There is nothing better than home made bagels. And while I'm here, these memes are fun. Ha ha on the first one, and the wine is funny. Hope all is well.
Mint repels bugs in general

ReplyDeleteNope, I had no idea. I love this!
ReplyDeleteGood to know!
ReplyDeleteI put my mint in a pot and it lasts 5 to 10 years and dies?
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that. I grow mint outdoors but will bring some inside too. No I don't have ants but having mint around is so soothing.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try this, Christine. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteWe have ants in our house that bite humans. I should consider growing mint here.
ReplyDeleteI love the smell of mint, but tastes are different! Have a great week!
