Ok, with spring at our doorstep I ventured out on the web to shop. I was looking for herbs, mostly sages this year, but once again I was bitten by the mint bug. I was looking at Fragrant Fields and Richters selections and wondering what the favorites are. Which ones have the longest staying power, are the prettiest, multiply the best (not that mint needs much help, but with hybrid ones I wondered), favorite uses and just have the best fragrance.

My experience with mint goes as far as the local nursery...apple, pineapple, banana etc. I think my favorite is pineapple, I love the variegated foliage. I haven't done the mail order ones because I just couldn't decide on a few and would spend so much time tyring to decide that I would get frustrated and vow to come back and then end up forgetting. This year I my take the plunge. Hopefully this will give a good reference for all the different kinds, uses and favorites.

So opinions anyone?...
