    Hi,

    How much should I water mint please?

    It's in a patch with oregano & wild flowers.

    Thank you.

    I'd suggest not to water at all unless the plant goes droopy. Herbs develop much stronger flavour when grown in dryish condition, and mint will survive anything, it's a tough plant. Oregano is a draught tolerant plant, and will not like being too wet.

    The mint might suffocate the Oregano unless you keep a close eye at it. More Mojitos to keep it at check :biggrin:

      Wow, that's good & bad news - bad 'cos I just hosed the patch; good, because I won't need to again for a while :) Too much water last year then may explain why my herb garden got wiped out come spring? Have since replanted.
