Behold — Mint has risen up from the dead(ish).

Plants are magical. I got this mint as a clipping from Jenn and Nat, neighbors of mine who have a whole urban edible garden.

All Nat did was chop off the top part of one of his mint plants, pinch off a few leaves, then instruct me to poke it into dirt and water it.

This is how the mint looked at first. But now, I have real, living mint plants!

Granted, I got 2 clippings, and the left seems to be doing a lot better than the right one, which appears somewhat damaged and yellowish, though not yet dead –

Mojitos are in order — And I recommend that all urban gals with a balcony get themselves a lil mint clipping –
