Fine, I will plant mint instead.

Actually considering mint for the front garden though. It's a narrow strip of dirt surrounded on all sides by 10+ metres of paved land. Hopefully it would be less thirsty than using pots and tbh all that is growing in it currently is thorns.

That's the only safe place to plant mint.

It started OK, but now I've got cinnamon everywhere.

I spent way too much time to try and sway you into trying out an awesome window manager, but berry seems stale.

Now to work out how to eat it and ideally says of preserving it too. Mint jelly but it needs apples in season really. I guess an unset syrup should also have a long shelf life as it's the sugar that preserves it.
