Geocache Description:


The Mint Series
An Entire Alphabet of Minty Things

This series starts just past Bay Area Park on Bay Area Blvd. and curves to the south-east (right) on Red Bluff, and then turns onto Kirby. Parking and restrooms are located at the entrance to Bay Area Park. Parking can also be had at several pull offs on Red Bluff. Stopping and hopping on either street is highly discouraged as these are very busy roads with high speed limits that few observe anyway. There is a nice, paved trail along this series, which makes it great for biking!

QUEEN MINT

Queen Mint can be grown outdoors, either on natural soil or in pots of pre-made or commercial soil. Some strains perform better than others in outdoor settings, an attribute that depends on different conditions, variables and aspects. Queen Mint, can be bought in numerous locations and many different strains that are bred for outdoor growing exist—many of these seeds are simply copies of other pre-existent strains or seeds with different names and descriptions.

To generate quality Queen Mint, the plant needs a fertile soil and long hours of daylight. This means outdoor growth occurs optimally anywhere within 35° of the equator. Typical growing regions include Mexico, Nepal, Northern India, many parts of Africa, Afghanistan, The United States and Australia. A surprising number of people cultivate Queen Mint indoors under various conditions, ranging from pots to hydroponic gardens.

More recently, stores have started selling Queen Mint to the public. Queen Mint can be obtained in various styles and strengths and can be purchased dried, in foods, in seed form or even live plants.

Is there a Scoville type of scale for Mintiness?
