I just love mint and cannot grow enough to sore, I did put some in the freezer but now not sure how much I will get as they have not sprouted yet, I have different sorts as well and must get some more to add but not in garden centers just yet!!

Don't buy mint, it's a manic sprouter, surely you can scrounge some? We're in central Scotland, the mint has already taken off like a demon. I make jars and jars of apple and mint jelly in the summer, people are giving apples away by the sack load. Just have to buy the suger, it's fabulous with lamb.

My mint patch is running wild !!! At the top of my garden i have a normal mint patch that has taken over at least 1.5sq meters. Thought the chickens would peck it and dig it up but no chance lol i've also got a small bit beside my house with Pineapple mint, chocolate mint and spearmint. Don't use these to cook with they're there for when ppl brush past them and they give a stunning smell

Make sure you plant your mint in pots (or even bury the pots in the ground).

Mint is an invasive plant will happily take over any chance it gets. Give mint a bit of organic fertiliser and watch it go mad...
