he's right, it is the roots. not sure why I was thinking of seeds. ho hum. anyway this looks like good advice to add to that. Why does mint spread so fast? Mint spreads easily because of its resilient rhizomes. A rhizome is a large stem which grows underneath the ground and which propagates lateral shoots (Ivany, 1997). In other words, mint has a strong root system which spreads underground, facilitating its rapid growth. The best way to control mint is to limit the spread of the plant's roots by planting it first in a pot, then sinking the pot into the ground or into the soil within a larger container. Every few weeks, give the pot a quarter turn to keep the roots from escaping through the drainage holes.

Last years.. and it went well. this year: south of France/route des grande Alpes/ligurian alps/Lake Garda/Dolomites. countdown is underway 149 days. and this has nothing to do with Argan propagation. apologies.

Don't plant mint in your garden. keep it in a pot and if flowers appear. cut them off fast. you definitely do not want them producing seed as they grow like weeds and will take over your garden in a year or so. popping up hither and yon. here there and everywhere. mintageddon is really a thing. even if its not a word.

Current Location. Got very drunk last night. 2 Abbey beers on top of a salad = twatted. But another fine day in store!
-
The air was cool with a very hot sun. interesting day today. electric problems. Bodged and limped to Besancon. New/old part found and sorted. But it took hours. Stopped for a meal at Gap (appropriately enough) and from there to Le Camping Moto, in the Vercors. Arrived at dusk so tents up and sorted fast! and beer. what a day. We should have been here by 4. Not 9:30!!! spotted a treasure at the bike place…

I’ve been prematurely aged by herding 30 yr olds with teenage mindset’s and working with the chronically bewildered doesn’t help.?

on the Pustertaler high road.

That’s me in the midst of consuming almost a full bottle of 30% alc real limoncello. Made with the proper lemons from amalfi. And lovely it was too. I fancy buying a crate!! they had 95% spirit which made the lads eyes light up. Multiple purposes, drink. Use as a hand sanitizer or fuel for the stove!!

Little excursion to Slovenia. 3/4 way up the Mangart- last bit closed due to rockfall. Ho hum. This has to be the most dangerous road I have ever ridden.

In answer to the burning question, my bum is fine because I don’t have the original seat (an instrument of torture) I have a Sargent.

This minute in murano as I needed to use the loo. And McDonald’s have decent loos. Leaving soon for Bolzano to pick up the start of the great dolomite road to cortina. Staying in Italy tonight as Austria is very wet.

fortunately I have ear plugs at the ready. think I might need them both on and off the bike. Im virtually set and ready to start packing, kinda. sorta. ready-ish. just collecting the stuff I think I might need and then whittling that down to what is actually essential. Looks very much like a fine weekend for the run down to Austria. plenty of sun and warm all weekend and into next week. which is more than can be said for the Grossglockner.. where its pretty horrible today after a fair amount of snow fall last nigh!! Pity any poor fools who had today earmarked for a ride up there. .2c and awful visibility.

Very posh tent. I'm impressed. Great choice.

Thats not dirt, its fallout from either the steelworks, or black pudding factory, hard to tell. not been much rain lately over Rotherham. (wherever that is!!)

War with Russia!!!!.... General Cheeseburger - from the good old US of A. to the rescue!! -
If you're coming on that, please break a habit of a lifetime and check your chain. maybe clean and lubricate it too. (just for the hell of it) Another broken chain and then having to leave you behind at some random Belgian service station, due to another unrelated show stopping problem. is more than my nerves can stand. And I don't care if you only did it for free beer and sympathy at the Beilsturm... and more sympathy and free beer from some Belgian local. Its the principal of the thing. (not the lack of it)

@ReggiePezza probably around 3,000 miles.. depends a lot on the weather, if we need to relocate to wait it out. that could mean further east in Austria, south into Italy or south east to Slovenia. Also depends on which region of Austria we aim for on the Sunday. The Swiss end.. or directly to Zell am See. see how it goes.
