OK, you asked for it!! Herewith a smack on the head, both sides, repeatedly, until some sense has been knocked in!! :-) Plant it in the lawn to stop it invading the garden beds? THAT won't work. Not only will it choke out the grass, but it will spread far and wide - usually where it isn't wanted!! Why not hunt out an old bathtub, or some old concrete laundry tubs, or a cattle trough or something similar and large, and use that as a pot? It won't solve the problem of spreading entirely, but it will keep it contained for a bit longer. From time to time, you'll need to dig out some of it to make more room, but you'll still have plenty left to indulge yourself with mint tea. BTW, go easy on that mint tea. One cup per day is a medicinal dosage - more than that, and you could begin to have problems with headaches, indigestion, fatigue etc.

Thank you digit for reviving this thread - it started way before I was a member, so didn't know it existed!! What a wonderful idea of thinking of, and remembering, lovely scents that 'send us'. Now when I go out tomorrow and sniff my Hyacinths, I will definitely have this song on my mind :^) So, for me, it is hard to choose an absolute favorite. But here are a few of mine that I love: Hyacinths (the bulbs I bought last year and planted in the yard are up and blooming now. Yea!), Wisteria (we used to have a huge one in our yard a few years ago that was delightful. Hoping the one we planted here comes close some day), Lilac (we have a nice big tree/shrub in our yard that is terrific), Honeysuckle (from my Texas days. On warm summer nights, the light scent was everywhere!) and Magnolia (very heady fragrance, again from my Texas days). Oh, but my yes, tomato plants! Love that, too!! So earthy. Oh gosh, and someone said Easter Lilies - yes, that's a wonderful one as well. Plants and flowers are such amazing things :^) Marj

It would be the unit, but the cookware makes a difference. Induction cooking works by creating a very strong alternating electromagnetic field in a coil under the ceramic glass top (the Hob). When you put a ferrous (iron/magnetic) material in this field its properties change (you can't see this as its at an atom level). This change creates a current in the material, this in known as induction. Because the field in the coil is alternating, it creates an alternating current in your cookware. As with any metal that has a current running through it, depending on its resistance, it will generate heat. The more resistance, the more heat it will generate. Whenever you send a strong alternating electric current through a coil, creating a magnetic field, it will hum. Period. This is because the material in the core that the coil is wrapped around expands and contracts with the cycle (frequency) of the magnetic field. This is called magnetostriction. Depending on the quality of the components and the engineering of the cooktop, you may hear this hum more pronounced with one cooktop than another. As a matter of fact, you may get a different result even between the same make and model. A perfect example of this is between Cushy and me. We both have the same unit and I am fortunate to not have a pronounced hum. This also explains why you may also get a hum depending on the setting the unit is placed. Different strength current, different expansion and contraction, hum or no hum. When you place cookware (ferrous material) on the ceramic glass top it changes the intensity of the magnetic field in the coil and thereby changes the amount of magnetostriction going on. This would be the reason why the hum may disappear when you place cookware on the hob, or it may actually create a hum. Depending on the quality of the ferrous material (cookware), the interaction will be different.

I would just plant them somewhere in your yard and water them in and let nature take it's course. Chances are many of them will thrive and if they rot or insects eat the really bad one then no harm done. If you want to give some bulbs to your friends and neighbors, I'd dig up some of your good bulbs. Weren't you saying that you'd have to leave some of them behind when you moved anyway? And, when are you moving? Donna☺☺☺
