All kinds of things that won't grow in the desert. I'm rather astonished by the mint murder, though. Here in the desert southwest were the air sucks the very life from plants, mint is impossible to kill. My mother-in-law gave me a small plant a few years back. I plopped it in the yard in an out-of-the drip system location. It did okay and was spreading until I forgot to water it. Crispy, crunchy dead mint. Feeling guilty, I watered the dessicated remains. A week later, it was back and taking over the yard again. Egads, but your thumb must be pitch black! :) Very pretty. All kinds of things that won’t grow in the desert.
