Mint is a lot easier if you buy a small living plant. It will grow and spread fast. I've got a growing collection of flavors. Spearmint, Peppermint, Strawberry scented, and also Lemon Balm. Some people really enjoy starting from seed, but I have trouble getting seeds from perennials like mint to sprout and sometimes it takes a couple years before they will spread vigorously. I was able to grow lavender from seed last year, and that took a lot of patience and failures before I got one to survive.

The photo for parsley has a white root? Is the root meant to be edible and harvested? I thought it was a parsnip at first.

Thanks for sharing. I am learning and teaching myself how to garden too. Love to experiment with seeds and try new things in the back yard. Going to grow my first melon this year.
