Here's a link to Richter's where Jim's mints are sold - one of the 2 places.
Sounds like I need to buy me some more mints!!
I had at one time 60 varieties or so, I've let some die, pulled some up cause they reminded me of others too much, I'm not sure how many I have now. Most are dormant in the ground right now.
Went to Calloway's this past weekend-ok selection. They have about seven different varieties right now. I picked up a candy mint and a lemon mint hybrid. They also had English mint, a couple pepper mints and a couple of spearmints.
I just ordered Oregeno-Thyme mint...one of JW new mints.
If you do a search on JW mints you can find a website with info on his mints
Just looked at my order (from Richters)
I got JW's Berries & Cream Mint and Banana Mint too.
AND...I got "Rose Petal" Thyme and "lemon Carpet" Thyme.
One can never have to many herbs! ;-)

Ooh, Rose, those new thymes sound scrumptious! And so do your mints! When my JW mints have (hopefully) grown on a bit this summer, I'm hoping you'll swap with me!
I like thymes too, especially inbetween stepping stones.
I saw a grape mint on ebay, but wasn't sure if it was misnamed or not.
I heard from richters last year that Jim WEsterfield was putting out some new mints, but I haven't seen hide nor hair of them yet.
Sure critter, I'd love to swap! Unfortaunate I lost the tags on some of my mints! :o

I love Thyme too and like to use the low mat types between rocks and stepping stones too.
I've ordered twice from richters, some of the plants were dead on arrival, due to the plastic surrounding the green, but they were excellent on refunding them no questions asked. So it made it worth the while to order. PLants were small, but they came from quite a distance and probably travel better being smaller plants. If they can keep the plastic off the green they would probably do alot bettter in shipment.
I'd order again from them if they had something I couldn't live without. LOL

Cool.... found your reply here after I'd posted on the other thread.... We'll work out a fun trade later on this year when our herbs have all taken off!
Sounds good to me! ;-)
