Your harvested mint at 2:12 is much longer than the little top part you clipped off in your demo earlier so I'm lost lol

so I should cut about 1 inch from the ground on any of my plants that have bloomed? I have a lot of mint in the back. I just moved into a house that needs some garden love. Wasn’t sure what I should do exactly. I’m thinking about transplanting it from the ground to a container. A lot of it has bloomed.

Hoping for some advice on my mint plant- I harvest by trimming from the top as suggested but then the tips turn brown and don’t regrow. My plant is also tall and wiry, rather than lush like the ones in your video. Any tips? I’m not sire which variety I have.

So you should never remove more than 20% of the plant at a time, except for when you cut it down at the end of the growing season?
