Please explain the mint comment! I ask because we started an herb garden this year and the mint seems to be creeping around the edge of the planter. Is it an invasive plant??
Mint will take over your garden if you let it. A good thing to do if you like mint is plant it in a container and plant the container in the ground. Otherwise it WILL spread and get completely out of hand.
As far as hard to kill.... I have a lavender I bought 3 years ago. It's growing in a large container and thriving, despite my completely ignoring my container garden all last year. It and the rhubarb were the only things to survive. Speaking of the rhubarb, I've really been awful to it this year. I ignore it until it's dried out, I see the leaves browning and the stalks withering, so I cut them all back. And yet, there's little baby stalks poking up through the soil this week. Some plants never learn.
