Only plant mint in some sort of container sunk into the ground - otherwise in three years you'll have a bed of mint, mint and nothing but the mint!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Always plant mint in containers too. But lost all mine from last year, so have some new now and planted in a couple of pots and sunk them in the ground next to the rows of pots.
Off now to family visit have a good day see you later peeps
Back home - busy morning at work and going to get trellis and compost soon. We can't all lie about all day having holidays you know...
Blackest - Verd's right. Give us a pic and we can suggest a few things perhaps. If the border's long enough you could pick three nice shrubs of varying height and foliage shape grouped together to do a repeat planting right along it. That would give you unity and you could have other perennials etc in between. If it's smaller, just pick one.
MrsG - glad the paniculata thing was helpful - and no, I don't think you're getting many scented flowers from those seedlings...
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
It's quite handy as its quite controllable I'm using it on little patches of grass that are too fiddly for a mower or a strimmer and too tedious to cut with clippers its like shaving and being battery powered it can go anywhere. reckons it will last 30 minutes on a charge and only cost about €25 or £20 roughly. not sure which blade i like best on it the hedge trimmer one feels like pulling a brush through slightly tangled hair while the other is fairly surgical. fun thou

In the sticks near Peterborough
Don't look like sweet peas to me either
Possibly sunflower seedlings ???

sunny but windy verdun i'm half tempted to plant mint seedlings along the edge as my herb box has loads trying to take over

I've weeded the borders and planted out my Hostas and geraniums
