From:

She put all the mints between a walkway and the driveway, so that at least one direction of their expansion would be constrained.
"My" mint went into the driveway, and choked out everything else in its bed, and crept under the walkway and popped up in the neighboring bed. She realized that her entire perennial bed was going to just be mint if she didn't root it out and good.
I don't see why she couldn't just keep beating it back to its proper spot, but she decided she needed to really get it out.
(I still occasionally find some, hiding next to the catnip, which also would take over the world if it could, so why can't they be together? It's prejudice; she likes the catnip because Reno lies in it so much.)
Maybe I'll try to re-establish a patch near the highway. Only I don't want to eat anything that near the highway...

The weeks away make it impossible to do any gardening, because Dude will not pull a weed or pay any attention to it, he won't water anything, he won't pick anything. I've grown flowers and vegetables and all kinds of stuff, and he just won't even look at it. All he'll do is mow the lawn. So if I bothered to plant flowers, I'd come back after weeks away and they'd be drought-dead and covered in weeds and there'd have been no point.
