Sowing

Timing: Sow after frost danger has passed, when soil reaches 60°F (15°C).
Soil: Use well-draining soil, pH 6.0-7.0, enriched with compost.
Planting: Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep, directly outdoors or indoors 2-3 weeks before the last frost date.
Spacing: Space seeds 18-24 inches apart in rows, with rows 24-36 inches apart.
Sunlight: Provide 6-8 hours of sun daily, but mint can also thrive in partial shade.
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, ensuring good drainage.
Temperature: Mint prefers temperatures between 65-70°F (18-21°C) but can tolerate a wide range.
Harvesting: Harvest leaves as needed once the plant is established, avoiding harvesting more than one-third of the plant at a time. Cut stems just above a leaf node for continued growth.
