“This helps to keep the plant bushy and delay flowering.”

Hello Mona, What are the consequences of the mint plant flowering? Is it like the leaves lose/gain flavor or something like that? Pardon my ignorance, just curious as to why you touched on that in your write-up.

As always, thanks for your time and effort in posting your recipes.

M.R., I do not allow the herbs I grow at home to flower, and keep trimming them often. This I do to sustain foliage growth. It helps avoid the plant diverting its energy towards producing flowers~ eventually the leaves lose their flavor, turn bitter, get sparse and begin to drop.
