Many plants, especially herbs, are very invasive and will spread and quickly take over your garden. To prevent this, place the plant, like this spearmint, in a container.

Okay, now I'm gonna have to plant some mint. I miss having it around, as my mom always had some in a planter by our back porch. Thanks for the tip, from a fellow Louisianian (I'm from Walker).
Make sure that it doesn't go to seed, like i did. Mint has very tiny seeds. Mine went to seed when I planted it like this, and I missed some of the seeding tops. The next season I had mint plants everywhere; I could have just planted the mint in the garden. Over a decade later, and I'm still pulling mint up by the handful several times a year.
You are right! Mint spreads like crazy! I like it though when I cut the grass & the smell of mint is all around me.
Isn't that something, if we wanted the plant to self seed and grow all over it wouldn't? I have a perennial poppy that for 4 yrs. never blossomed. Then last yr. it did. It still is one little plant.
