Enter: MINT

I love the smell of mint and the glorious color of green it is BUT.....I have never and I mean never been able to grow it.  I know, everyone tells me it grows like a weed and can take over a flower bed and mint is hard to kill and yet, I cannot get it grow.  Every year I plant mint.  I have planted in flower bed, pots and anywhere I could dig a hole and no mint.  My attempt this year is in a small Mexican decorated hanging pot I bought in Boerne, Tx during the Wine and Art hop.  So far, one week and it is not dead!
