Well, I'm interested in growing some pinenuts, they are so expensive at the store!! Any success with growing them, anyone?

I've been digging up mints but haven't gotten it all yet! LOL It's crazy! In Jan I decided I would extend the area for planting new herbs this year so dug it up, turned it and put down cardboard, added soil and leaf matter over it and placed bricks around it so the mint wouldn't move over into the new area. Wrong!! The mint just crawled under the bricks, under the cardboard and broke it's way thru the cardboard and started growing in the new bed. OMG that stuff is crazy!!! LOL Dug that all back up...put new soil down. Still finding mint popping up.

Guess hubby will be getting his mojitos this spring/summer!! But I'll be digging the mint up as I go and not clipping it!!

Pineapple mint came back very happily from roots too.

And this plant that I'm not sure what it is...planted from culinary seeds of either Black cumin or black caraway last spring. Hahaha I guess you never know unless you try But will have to grow both again in separate containers so I will know for sure what it is. Can't find pics to confirm either??
