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.

WE plant a lot mint. We don't have ants too bad. Great to know!
I didn't know either. Thanks so much for the post. And I do love mint!
I love mint and have a few of them on my balcony. Have a great week ahead!

Nope, I had no idea. I love this!
Good to know!
I put my mint in a pot and it lasts 5 to 10 years and dies?
I 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.
I'll have to try this, Christine. Blessings!
We have ants in our house that bite humans. I should consider growing mint here.
I love the smell of mint, but tastes are different! Have a great week!
Me gusta mucho la menta, su olor y sabor son maravillosos. Besos
I'm going to be remembering this for the summer time. Thanks Christine!
Thanks for the information. It's good to know about mint and ants.
No wonder I never have ants. We have mint growing like weeds!
Gracias por el consejo. Te mando un beso.
Thanks for sharing this.
All the best Jan
I'm going to put one right on top of an ant hill and see what happens
I'll have to remember this come spring when, for the last 3-4 years, I've had them on my kitchen counter.
