Spearmint Planting Instructions:
1. When to Plant: Spearmint can be started indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or sown directly into the garden once the soil has warmed in the spring. As a hardy perennial, it can handle cooler temperatures once established.
2. Preparation: Mint thrives in moist, well-drained soil and prefers full sun to partial shade. If you are worried about mint spreading too quickly in your garden beds, we highly recommend planting it in large containers or "sinking" a pot into the ground to keep the roots contained.
3. Sowing: Spearmint seeds are tiny and require light to germinate. Gently press the seeds onto the surface of the soil but do not cover them with dirt. Keep the soil consistently moist (but not soggy) during the germination period.
4. Watering and Care: Mint loves water. Ensure the soil stays moist, especially during the heat of summer. For a bushier plant with more leaves, pinch off the tips of the stems regularly. This prevents the plant from getting "leggy" and encourages new growth.
5. Harvesting: You can begin harvesting leaves as soon as the plant is 4-6 inches tall. For the most potent flavor, harvest in the morning after the dew has dried but before the sun is at its peak. Spearmint leaves can be used fresh, frozen in ice cubes, or dried for long-term storage.
