help, Help!!! it taketh over, i'm being invaded by pineapple mint, I dont know where the regular pineapple came from but I planted the variegated there, I don't let them flower so they won't cross, go figure. and back in the way back is applemint, which i've killed alot of it.

REMEMBER THIS!!!!!!

DON:T plant these two kinds ofmints in the ground unless you want it to take over. Oh how I wish it were lavender and grapefruit mints out there instead, those two mints don't spread at all hardly.

Guess what my teenage son is going to do when he gets back from camp? any ideas? he's going to pull mint for me, just think of all the room for daylilies i'd have if I didn't have that mint there.
