when i still lived at my parent's house, i loved to harvest, dry, and make tea with the chocolate mint from the garden.

after moving out, i grew a little homesick; so, wanting something to take care of, i ended up taking some cuttings from that mint so i could tend to my own

the plant is still very small, especially since it's in a pot indoors, but sometimes it's more about the love you pour into something rather than the output.
