    I forgot to mention that it has a very strong odor.

    It’s mint it’s friend in a way that you can use it to make mojitos it’s a foe in a way that it will be in your garden forever if you want it to or not

    Pretty sure this is mint – generally it shouldn’t be planted directly in the ground as it spreads mega rapidly like a weed.

    On the plus side – it’s mint! Perfect for mojitos!

    Looks like mint to me, if that is true then I would say foe because it will spread like crazy through underground rhizomes. Unless you’re cool with it taking over, that case it would be friend.

    Appears to be mint… so that’s a mixed blessing. Should be pretty obvious if you smell it… it’ll have that “green Trident gum” smell.

    Friend if you like mint. (I’ll make mine into tea.)

    But it spreads like crazy, so if that’s a problem for you, you’ve got your work cut out for you.

    To me mint is a friend. I want it to take over where I’ve planted it. To others it’s a foe.
