Seriously, these have just appeared at the bottom of our (very big) mint plant.
Aren't they strange looking?
Any idea what they are? |

They are mint runners, quite common in members of the mint family.
If that plant was in open ground it would spread like wildfire by using these.

| Probably best to cut them back then! It's the only herb in the garden I never use! |

Definitely. Keep it in the pot by the way, don’t ever be tempted to transplant it into a bed. Same goes for Lemon balm.
