Banana mint

[Small pumpkin]

I'll sort out a little selection for you and get them in the post early next week.
I've already got Eau de cologne

I'll do the same for you. You're having some Skopelos whether you want it or not. I grow it alongside a path where the dogs brush against it and its gorgeous. Don't know whether its Eau de Cologne or not - if you can compare them you may be able to decide.

Thank you VC

I've had banana mint (smells nice but tender), along with the usual crew - spearmint, red mint, peppermint, eau de cologne mint, basil mint, ginger mint. They all seem to be variants of mentha x piperata, and hybridise readily.

I also like Indian Mint (satureja not mentha) and Emperor Mint (Micromeria) and, of course, Calamint (Calamintha). Worth seeking out.

Red mint ? I've not seen or heard of that.......Runs off to google

I don't like calamint the smell makes me feel really quite ill

How about Hairy Mountain Mint?? https://www.chilternseeds.co.uk/item..._pilosum_seeds
I have seeds

[Small pumpkin]

Never heard of that one either. Very pretty flowers. Almost orchid like.

[veggiechicken]

Not sure how viable the seeds are - I had them in 2016 - but I'll send you some and you can find out!!

Thanks VC. You're a very kind chicken

Your mint is on its way VC

It appears there are a few Red Mints. This one is Mentha x smithiana.

Anyone ever grow Monardella odoratissima (also known as Coyote mint)? Not a mentha but a great plant I had once in 2002, but never seen since.

Its arrived. Thank you very much. They're all potted up and labelled so I won't confuse them. The stems on the Lime Mint are almost purple - lovely!

The postman hand delivered them. He stood at the door, holding out the parcel, looking a bit scared. So I told him it didn't bite and was quite safe.
"Is it cake?"
No, its a Box of Mints. He probably thinks they're After 8s.

Your mints are on their way today. Hope they travel as quickly back to you.

Mint has arrived VC thank you

Now potted up and Seeds are sown.

Will do a comparison between skopelos and Eau de cologne when skopelos has rested after his long journey
