Farmer family friend has an out of control mint problem around one of his greenhouses because he had a potted mint plant that he set on the ground and it grew a tendril out of the pot which touched the soil and grew roots.
It had never occurred to me before that a potted plant could escape.
Friendly reminder that mint is incredibly invasive when planted in the ground and it will crawl out from potted hell when it's just 1 cm near soil like the gremlin it is.
It's roots are fast growing and aggressive, leaving no space for other plants and basically taking over your entire garden. It's both fascinating and terrifying.
