The one I have now was growing out of someone's window, and I thought poor thing, so took it home, its doing okay now! We have doggy birthday parties too! The best one I think was when I was walking dogs. I took them all back to mine, after their walk and they all wore party hats and had a lovely doggy birthday cake and biscuits!

I am enjoying the flavor of my orange mint best, then the spearmint, although I think spearmint is not a pretty plant. But the orange mint and peppermint are pretty, with dark, rounded leaves.

So you take some cuttings from the pineapple mint plant, put them in water until they root. Remove the new shoots and plant them, then drink the water they were rooted in as a tea? Or are you collecting leaves, pouring boiling water over them and letting them steep for 10 or 15 min. and then drinking that water as the tea?<br /><br />Had to laugh that the boys didn't want to wear the party hats or have their pictures taken. Ink didn't like having his picture taken and would turn away at the last minute. Ink wouldn't tolerate being dressed up, either.

I don't blame the two of them refusing to be dressed up, they both look fine as they are.<br />I have never heard of `pineapple mint before, Iand a now wondering does it have just a hint of pineapple or a strong taste of them? I drink tisanes in preference to either tea or coffee, but am afraid mine are bought in packets like teabags.<br />Looks like another hot day here in the UK - I am longing for it to be a bit cooler at night - my sleep pattern is all over the place.<br />Take care Elizabeth<br />Hugs, Neet xxNeethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13279125547309537517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-25134261419725770362021-07-20T01:51:32.752-05:002021-07-20T01:51:32.752-05:00Happy birthday to squiggles!

My dogs wouldn't wear hats either, but they would try to rip them apart. Does pineapple mint have a pineapple taste in a tisane? And your garden will be getting bigger soon I think when you plant this mint. Hope you have a wonderful T day, and I did enjoy this different take on T this week. Have a great T day.
