Hi all. I was invited here by Flowerpower and I'm excited to see some familiar names here. My name is Jim and I'm from extreme southeast Michigan/Northwest Ohio ( Toledo, Ohio originally). I'm a garden beginner. So far my plant obsession has been concentrated on mints and tomatoes.

I look forward to being a contributor here.

Jim

Thanks for the welcome everybody.

Greengrass, last year was my first year with mints and I got them all from richters. I have orange mint, margaritta mint, candy lime mint, mojito mint, pineapple mint, and ginger mint. MY favorite has been the mojito mint. It really does make a fine mojito. The others are all preaty decent. In the spring I'd be glad to share some cuttings or plugs.
