Best way to store fresh mint?

Did they start to grow roots?

No

That's too bad. I grow my mint in my shade garden. Did it get too much sun? It might have been a poorly rooted plant, I would keep trying. It might have been rootbound, not enough soil, in which case you might want to repot it in a bigger container.

Ok I'll try repotting it next time so it has more soil.

Another great use for mint (I know that isn't the question, but while we're here ...) is to buy some Near East taboule. Make as per directions, but then get lots of mint and parsley and chop. A few minutes in the morning, the afternoon in the fridge, and a great cold supper (add a can of garbanzos, some nuts, and/or some meat of choice to make it a full meal).

That sounds really good, Claire. Would tomatoes also work with it?
