Re: Mint from seed

Right.  And water sparingly.

 I am trying to grow spearmint from seed.  I keep trying and everytime they get to be about 2-3 inches they start to get redish spots (rust maybe?) and wither away.  I haven't been able to find any books on mint that tell me anything other than "don't start them from seed" and "they grow like weeds", soooo I am hoping that one of you out there has ideas and/or books titles that I might use to help me in my plight.  Oh, by the way, I have been starting them indoors in sterilized seed staring soil in peat pots, and none of the batches has made it outside yet.  Thanks. Kaliya ###############Good Morning:I have started mint from seed a couple of times and had no problems. I used the type of potting soil used for cactus and I give it a lot of light. I think most herbs like porous soil.
