applemint

'Obviously we are delighted at all the attention and publicity we are getting and the thought that information on what we have done here is going to press all over the world is tremendous.' Mr Pudge, owner of the Hop Pocket Craft Centre at Bishop's Frome, Worcestershire, gave up his dairy cows and sheep to grow potatoes, hops, spearmint, peppermint, applemint, chamomile, coriander and valerian.

Another one of the herbs that we grow is mint, specifically spearmint (Mentha cardiaca), applemint (Mentha suaveolens), and peppermint (Mentha piperita).

My favourite for mint sauce is Applemint, which has rounded, woolly leaves and apple scent.

Mr Pudge, who abandoned his cattle and sheep farm to grow spearmint, peppermint, applemint, chamomile, coriander and valerian, is now urging more farmers to grow the herb.

Repotting, trimming, and a few weeks of careful watering and I had a full supply of chives, cosmos, spearmint, peppermint, applemint, orangemint and fuschias for the year and cuttings for the next year also, under the grow light.
