When I was about ten years old, my Mother developed a fondness for mint. She
planted a large amount of it in our back yard, and it grew throughout
the yard,
wherever it could come up. I used to both hate and love to mow the
grass, because
it would smell so strongly of mint in the area. I drank a lot of mint
tea growing up.
The house has gone through two owners, and a complete dirt fill/sod
change in the back yard.
When I was up after Pennsic, visiting my Mom, the current owner was mowing the
grass and I could smell the mint.
