Peppermint Seeds
Mint is a hardy perennial that can really be started anytime as long as you're about 2 months before your first Fall frost. It also grows well indoors, year-round.
Start them inside in late winter, for your Spring planting, or wait until the soil warms up and sow the seeds directly outside in your garden. It�s best to grow them in pots to keep them from taking over your garden (even if you�re planting in the ground).
When sowing the seeds, do not cover them. They need light to germinate properly and will sprout within 10-15 days if the soil stays around 68 to 75�F.
They are ready to transplant into the garden when they have their second set of "real" leaves. If you're sowing them directly out into your garden, consider placing a row cover over them until they sprout.
