Mint Update

From one pot of common mint costing me $2, I have propagated several pots successfully, with some knockbacks by powdery mildew occasionally.
Pot A cuttings in ice-cream tub. Attacked by powdery mildew and treated with fungicide.
Mint grown from Pot A cuttings which are potted into my previous buk choy pot.
Pot B with 3 cuttings done before my Tassie holiday, looking horrible due to neglect. Pot B cuttings looking great after returning from holiday and recent picture after harvesting once.
Pot C (black) and Pot D (blue) cuttings shortly after planting over from water.
Mint grown from Pot C.
Mint grown from Pot D. Attacked by powdery mildew several times, treated with fungicide.
Another lot of mint grown at the vege patch from cuttings in a soya bean milk container (no pic previously)
Mint given by a friend last Christmas (08).
Same mint at the vege patch June 09. Subject to aphids attack.
