I now officially have a mint corner on my bench. Catnip, lime balm, and peppermint. I also finally repotted the lime balm. I thought it would be so much easier in plastic pots, because of all the holes at the bottom. I could put the plant on Tom's mat and let the soil and roots water themselves. But I inherited a moisture sensor thing. It's like a scale with a wire attached to a metal stick with a sensor at the end, I feel pretty nerdy using it! But now I don't have to rely on my negligible experience to tell if it needs more water. The terracotta pots really do hold moisture in without letting it sit. The benefits of having once large hole in the raised bottom for drainage I guess.
