And mint is never late. It'll arrive precisely when it means to.

Once I dropped a packet of mint seeds in the garden. Their descendants still thrive

Funny enough it does really poorly as a house plant.

I think mint just likes to be constantly moving into a new frontier. I can keep it going in a pot year to year, but it gets super root bound. If I pull the plant out of the pot, and chop it into thirds with a shovel, and repot, I keep getting high harvests.
