Take samples to your local cooperative extension service and they will identify it for you. Take many samples, like a handful of grass (with roots), from several areas to be sure you are sampling the different types that might be in your mix.

I have an "eco-friendly" solution that I use for most of my problems in the garden: 1 quart water 1 tsp. Dr. Bronner's Peppermint liquid castile soap ( available in health food markets) 1 tsp vegetable oil 1 tsp baking soda Mix together and pour into spray bottle. Spray in early morning or evening but not in the heat of the day. Use for three consecutive weeks to kill bugs and eggs. This is also good for fungus problems. Regina

It does look like a mint... but there are mints and there are mints. Catnip is a mint. Horehound is a mint. Gill-Over-the Ground is a mint. Plants in the mint family have a squared stem and have paired opposite leaves, as do your plants. A word of caution? If you plant different mints within reach of each other (10 to 20 feet), you will end up with common or wild mint, which has a mild, indistinguishable minty flavor. Mint propogates by sending out runners across or just beneath the surface of the ground, and will cross with any other mint within reach. I grow Spearmint and Peppermint plants in pots separated by about 12 feet of deck space. If your mint tastes like chewing gum or toothpaste, it COULD be Spearmint. Peppermint does have a bite to it - at least it does to me - and after chewing it for a minute or two tastes like peppermint stick candy. The flowers of Spearmint grow in a spike at the tips of the branches. Whichever you have, in order to maintain the flavor, try to get more of the same type of mint to plant with it. Why not dig up some of the plants and scatter them around the orchard? Have you tried cooking with it? Add it to salads or to Middle-Eastern dishes like Spanikopita or Moussaka, Greek soups or spinach dishes, spinach quiche, etc. You can also add it to your tea or just to boiling water or to lemonade for a refreshing drink that will also lower your body temperature by a few degrees. And be sure to dry some to use during the off-season. Hope that helps! - JB Hope that helps?

Canny, Oh, OK. If you are under zone 9, bring the orange one in for the winter. It will die with freezing temps, the other ones can be mulched good and will come up next year for you. They will be a lot bigger for you too. Orange is not a color that hardy is available in, and the variety you have in the orange one is definately tropical. Bring in the house, it's worth it. If you have a sunny window.
