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

      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

      Blackberries would probably learn to coexist with mint if they can share enoug root space.

      We have 3 kinds of mint and I’ve already pulled fistfuls out of the ground where they’re encroaching on neighboring plants. We planted it in the garden next to our big oak tree for our daughter to nibble when she’s out there with her friend, but it’s probably the last season we’ll keep it.

          I’m a masochist. I have mint on one side of the house and wisteria on the other. I should round it out with bamboo and blackberries. Make my home into a rhizome cage match.
