How wonderful!

I grow tomatoes every year, and I always plant mint in a separate container, to keep the tomato worms away. They don't like the smell of mint.

Even in a separate container, the mint found a way to get into the tomato plant tubs. Now it's actually growing out of the ground. I am going to have mint in my yard for the rest of my life!
