The cultivation of costmary
Site: Mrs. Mint grows best in full sun and a light, dry, but fertile soil. It is a perennial that can grow up to almost 3 feet and it spreads like mint. If you can do it to give it a sunny corner in the garden are welcome, and a plant are abundant. Many gardeners complain it is invasive, it can be. If you deadhead the flowers before they seed and will draw up all the roots, the distribution, it can be kept under control. I do this with my mint too, and while I think it is the maintenance in order.
Propagation: Mrs mint is hardy to zone 4 and is propagated by division of roots. The seed is not readily available, so it is best to buy a plant.
Growing: You can grow it in shade, but it will be leggy and will not bloom. I have quite a lot of resources saw a shadow labeling it herb, but it really does not do his best in a shady location. It may again be cut to prevent them, to keep full, or high.
Harvesting: The young tender leaves can be collected and used fresh at any time during the season, but for winter they should be harvested when the plants begin to flower, and should be quickly dried in a ventilated, darkened room. When the leaves at all dusty or gritty, they should be washed in cold water and drained thoroughly before drying.
Culinary uses: Usually used for medical purposes, but can be used as a flavoring in soups (especially carrot soup), stews and salads. Use only in small quantities because it has a sharp tang. Use it clear to preserve and flavor beer.
