    Fucking mint, never get rid of it.

    However, thinking about blackberries, the only solution is fire.

    I don’t know which one wins, as long as they win far away from me…

    I get the sentiment IF you live in a place that has the right climate and conditions for raspberry. But from my experience, the right conditions and climate for mint are negotiable while those for raspberry are less so.

      I haven’t grown raspberries, but if they’re anything like blackberries once they’re established it’s a bitch to kill them.

        you know there’s this artist who is famous or something because he once put a bunch of oversized beach umbrellas all along this gorgeous spanish beach like every quarter mile for fifty miles or something idk. anyways the wind picked up as the wind does along the beach, and the beach umbrellas caught the wind as beach umbrellas do and they started rolling along the beach and they had these pointy ends where they were stuck in the sand and i think someone might have died and anyways art never says quite what you think it is going to say, even when you’re making it.

        anyways i was kind of inspired by this dude even though i forgot his name because i’m terrible with names and i would love to make an art project that is “accidentally” some kind of ecological disaster or something and you just gave me an idea: berries edit no berries mixed with that fuck evil grass. is anyone here a genetic engineer?

      in a fight between mint and lemon balm (different mint), which wins?

      i have a giant pot that has been full of lemon balm for the last, uh, i don’t know how long i’ve lived here it’s been a while but i like picking some and steeping some and making the room smell good. out by the trash we also have a pot of mint because the mint smell overpowers the trash smell

      Probably, I was going to say European blackberry but that is also known as brambles apparently.

      I guess there’s gotta be some uplifted plants out there. They’ll probably have to fight the grey fungus.

    Probably actually lichen. They can grow without soils and indeed are a precursor to soil. No alien planet without life is going to have soil in it because soil is a living thing.
