Growing Candy in your Own Back Yard or Kitchen

Peppermint Candies are made from Peppermint Oils You can grow your own peppermint in your home or garden.

Peppermint, with its small lilac blossoms, is a hardy perennial, that can be grown in most everyone's back yard, although I would suggest that you be careful where you plant it, as it has a habit of taking over everything.  Guess it is the mafia ganster of herbs. Yet, the aroma that is released by brushing your hand over the leaves can be intoxicatingly delicious!  If you want to add a plant to your home that smells wonderful, when you brush by, try growing peppermint.  It is an easy indoor plant to grow, just keep it clipped. This easy to grow plant will survive most anywhere.  Harsh winters don't seem to bother this plant, neither does hot summers.  Peppermint like to be grown in partial shade. Peppermint has many aliases, names such as lamb mint, mint lady, or brandy mint.  But what ever it calls itself these days, you can rest assured that peppermint is tasty as always.  The flowering tops and leaves are used to derive peppermint oil, a sweet flavoring used in many drinks, including hot tea.  The place I like best to order peppermint from would be No Tyme Productions If I was going to purchase peppermint plants from the on the web, I would use this site. I don't receive money from this referral.  I like  the web sites nice photo's of their plants, the down-home attitude, and the easy way you can get around their site.  It doesn't take a rocket scientist to order.  Their phone number is on every page and in plain view.  Best of all, they are reasonable in pricing. My personal favorite peppermint plants were the chocolate peppermint, pineapple peppermint, and spearmint.  They have other great plants as well. I am definitely going to place an order this spring and will let you know about their service. Wanted to let you know, that I saw a girl selling "sage wands" on ebay the other day.  She was getting 14.00 for 10 sage sticks.  Amazing!  See you can make money from your own backyard.  I know, sage isn't candy, but it was making money, so I thought it was worth a mention.

There is a plant called Candy Corn, or Cuphea micropetala, if you prefer.  The plant has little tube like blossoms colored like candy corn, hence the name.  A very cool way to grow some candy in your yard, but remember it is not for you to eat this plant! This plant is for Butterflies.  Butterflies love candy corn.
