Honestly, in normal gardening years (this wasn't one for us), about half of what I plant are various native wild flowers just to make sure the bee population in our tiny little area has something...Early bee food from what I understand

This advice sounds depressing.mint is a rhizome (also seeds) every little piece you miss will keep growing.
Or just let it grow, mowing/weedeating it smells amazing.This advice sounds depressing.
Wife puts up with some chemicals in other areas. But puts her foot down in the garden.Round up will kill the F out of it
I had a 4x8 raised bed and ended up replacing with new soil after mint went wild and crazy.Random garden question:
Anyone have any suggestions for getting overgrown mint out of your garden? My wife planted some the other year (foolishly not in a container) and we didn't do much garden stuff this year. Now the mint is EVERYWHERE. So hard to dig out.
Beautiful plantIn the garden, if not really a producing plant: Balsam Peppermint Stick.

So I dug around on the webs and it looks like the flowers of this family generally open at night and are very fragrant at that time. Moths are the main pollinator. I might try hanging a light on the trellis to encourage more moths to the site.View attachment 30232
Chinese Python Snake Bean flower. Not sure how this thing works but it’s pretty cool with all its frilly things going on. Any flower pros out there that have a better understanding of what’s going on here and how it’s pollinated?
That’s a keeper
