As you can see the mint has gotten HUGE..the forget-me-nots are blooming!
Careful with the mint. I had a hydroponic setup in the corner of my yard a while ago. Now years later it grows like crazy in my wife's planter box. We leave it though, it tastes and smells good and makes more green.

I have mint everywhere, love the smell when I mow it. Easy to pull and it loves the bog.

I scored big time today! Got a bunch of Marsilea Mutica (4 leaf water clover). Some are temporarily placed on the top of planters until I can get them permanently situated in unscented kitty litter tomorrow. For now they look like tangled hair.

These are probably one of my favorite pond plants! I remember when I was a kid back in the 90s one of our local nurseries had these and I was always fascinated by them.
