Mint is the hardiest most invasivest shit ever and like I cannot stress enough how quickly and vigorously it grows. If you ever need mint just like root a cutting and plant it and give it some fertilizer like once a week and you’ll have more mint than anybody could ever need for their entire lifetime

I transplanted a basketball sized mint plant into a bigger pot two weeks ago and it’s quintupled in size with leaves the size of my hand. I literally do not know what to do with it. I offered like a pound of it to my weed dealer and you know what he said? nah he’s trying to kill the shit growing around his house

    They don’t taste nearly as good after a while, since the onion flavour comes from sulfur in the soil which it utilizes to make itself too pungent for (most) herbivores to eat.

    Eventually, in the same soil, the onion stalks will get milder and milder, until there’s no more sulfur in the soil. Onions (not just green) grown in soil entirely absent of sulfur will be sweet (esp if the cultivar was sweet to begin with)
