  1 0 Probably mint. If the stem is square, it is mint. Also, if you rub the leaves between your fingers it shuld smell like, um, mint. Granted, though, not all mint plants smell strongly of mint so the square stem clue is usually the best give-away. Perfect for mint juleps. Tom answered in Edibles & Herbs 11 months ago | Report 2 comments by internet_jen and Tom… 0 0 The stems are totally square. No jagged leaves though. I can understand the flavor now as mint. I also understand now why this herb book I have says to be vigilant that mint doesn't take over the garden. These mint plants are the only plants absolutely thriving. internet_jen commented 11 months ago | Report 0 0 I've been told that the Northwest is the mint growing capitol of the world. And I believe it.

  0 0 It's oregano. Not the best variety for cooking but not bad either. It'll get nice purple flowers later into the summer but harvest it before it flowers if you want to cook with it. Marty Unger answered in Edibles & Herbs 11 months ago | Report 1 comment by Marty Unger… 0 0 My buddy, who has this in his yard, just told me that it is Greek oregano and is excellent for cooking with. Bon appetite!

  0 0 Looks like mint. Fnarf answered in Edibles & Herbs 11 months ago | Report 1 comment by Fnarf… 0 0 Mrs. Fnarf, who knows more about plants than I ever will, first said "oregano". We have both in our garden, so I went and picked some. Fresh oregano doesn't taste very much like dried oregano; it definitely has a powerful bitterness that might be your plant. On further examination of your photos, though, she changed her answer to peppermint. It's definitely not spearmint. If you could post a closeup of a leaf it would help. I need to see those veins more closely.

  0 0 I don't know. Kinda looks like nightshade to me. Are the leaves fuzzy or smooth? If smooth, probably nightshade. Put on some protective gear and pull them out. elm answered in Edibles & Herbs 11 months ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  0 0 I concur with the previous answers. It looks like a mint plant. Are the leaves jagged around the edges and the stalks/stems square? I vote mint.
