I have something to confess: the mint I’ve spent all summer growing has recently become a victim of yet another heatwave.
It’s my fault. I was too busy paying attention to the basil in my windowsill, which is far needier, to water the more resilient plant often enough. That means that what used to be lush, verdant leaves have since (mainly) become shrivelled husks of their former selves.
My first instinct, I’ll admit, was to clip them off to give the remaining leaves a better chance to grow back.
But according to the University of California’s Agricultural and Natural Resources (UCANR) page, that might have been a mistake.
