| I really hate to ask this without providing a photo *covers face embarrassedly*, but since I'm here I thought I'd ask... I have this random mint plant growing in my garden, and I can't tell what it is exactly. I've looked up other wild mints on Yahoo!Images, but nothing really matches- all those leaves look thicker, smaller, and more dark green.
My plant is a green-yellow with broad-ish leaves, no flowers yet (has been growing since early April at least), and a strong, almost bitter taste. It's growing steadily and like a weed. I wonder if anybody knows what it is?... |

| Any lemon in the scent? Might be lemon balm? I find it unpleasant, but others really like the smell. |

| At first I thought it was more of an herb, a kind of basil perhaps, with perhaps a slightly lemony scent. But then my mom pointed out that it was mintier. It could have spread from the mint that we planted last year, although I don't remember any of the seeds finding their way down their last year (or this), so I'm NOT sure.... Definitely not lemon balm, though. lol Thanks for the response. :) |
