    Has anyone grown mint from seed before? I want to plant a pot of peppermint or spearmint but haven't found any decent looking plants around here. I'll gladly pay postage if anyone has any they want to get rid of :p

    Even if the plant doesn't look good now, you can probably nurse it back to health. Cut the plants back to 2-4 inches tall, it will come back even bushier. And the cuttings can be rooted in a glass of water to make more plants.
