if I were on vacation with not a care in the world and I didn't have to function all day if I didn't want to, yeah, I probably would.

I've planted it with a barrier in the ground to keep the roots from spreading.
There are areas here I wouldn't mind letting it run rampant in.

keep it where it should be for awhile. You may have to eventually thin out the area with the barrier, so that the mint doesn't start to go under the barrier. The plants could also choke themselves because there isn't anywhere for the roots to go. If there are areas that you want it to take over, make sure that it isn't near any of your other beds.

If it's planted in a clay pot, the pot make crack or break in the winter. We used to cut the perennials (planted in plastic pots) down, and winter them over on the ground (wooden frames set on top of stones). Toss in some mouse poison packets, then staple plastic over the whole thing. We didn't bother with the plastic for the hardier plants. This was at the nursery/landscaping place I used to work at. If you have a basement, you could winter the pot there. Or re-pot it and keep it inside. You can use the same pot, just bang the old soil off of the plant, and re-pot with fresh soil. By doing that you will keep any bugs in the soil out of the house, and refresh the depleted soil.

I'd be useless the rest of the day. Not because of potential drunkenness, but because alcohol makes me hurt.

So I'd say they were meant to be drunk in the morning.

maybe I'll freebase some jelly donuts and smoke a few packs of Old Gold straights then get down to some work.

I need opiates to watch Paula Deen .
