I'm going to do a little indoor gardening for the winter. I took some mint to an Indian friend at work last week to use in a chutney. Unfortunately, it was not the RIGHT mint. Their cuisine is so much more complicated than ours! She bought some better mint, and told me to take some home and plant it in pots for the winter. I looked online, and there was a suggestion to put the sprigs in water to grow roots, them carefully plant them in soil. I stripped the lower leaves from the sprigs and put them in water. The roots are growing well. Evidently mint is the kind of thing you plant around here by throwing it down and running, so it sounds like the kind of plant I can overwinter successfully :).
