Mint Mint Mint

I have gone mint crazy in any spare ground in the yard and not just because it smells so damn lovely. I have discovered that the local critters do not eat it. Critters my way are possums and their little fury friend the bandicoot. Don't get me wrong I love the local wildlife and even advocate on there behalf occasionally, but I don't wont them eating my produce. You ask What type of Mint! Spearmint, Peppermint, Moroccan Mint, Vietnamese Mint, Chocolate Mint (my favourite at the moment)they are just covering any open space which in turns stops the animals digging up my yard that is not wired off. It grows real quick, especially at the moment as it is very humid. The Chocolate mint is pretty hardy and even tolerates afternoon sun. However the Vietnamese Mint needs plenty of water, I have seen it used in a small pond as a water plant. I have mine in an old half barrel with some Golden Oregano, they seem happy together. Though I do find the odd little frog in yet every now and then (yeah for the environment go frog, Yuck a Frog says the scaredy cat girl gardener)
