Growing Mint

 I would love to grow mint, but understand they can be very invasive. How invasive, and do you have suggestions where to grow them?

Very invasive; just ask herbal expert Rita Heikenfeld! For growing mint, I suggest either planting them in their own separate garden, in a garden area that has a deep in ground barrier (watch for them to grow over the barrier), or my favorite way, which would be in containers. Keeps them contained, easy to grow, and will overwinter in the pots right outside.
