Oh, another person mint dies on! I believed myself to be the only one. Turns out the only mint that, so far, thrived in our garden was the bergamotte mint I got at castle Villandry in the Loire valley (it tastes horribly but looks really pretty, and is such a cool souvenir at that) and in turn nearly did kill the wild rose we planted it under. (I didn't know back then that this hadn't been a good idea.) I get two or three harvests of lemon verbena every year despite having less than ideal wintering options for it, and my rosemary doesn't know it's not frost-hardy and thrives even after five days of -12°C last December, but mint? *wails* *sympathetic high-five to you*
