Mentha x piperita

I planted this in spring 2009 in my herb container for fun. I had hoped to harvest enough to dry it for peppermint tea, but I think I had too many plants in the container because (amazingly, for a mint) it just didn't take off this summer. This container got the best care of them all because it was on the deck just outside the kitchen door.
I have only planted herbs for the past couple of summers. Since I have no sense of smell I don't really remember to think about using them. I'm trying to be more proactive in this area. A. did like the scent once I led her to the whole "mint, mint & ...., choc-o-late...."
