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.
