What Is Spearmint?

Spearmint, scientifically known as Mentha spicata, is a perennial herb from the mint family. It is known for its refreshing scent and flavor and is widely used in dishes, beverages, and herbal remedies. This robust plant is very beginner-friendly, requiring only basic care to thrive. 

Spearmint Appearance and Characteristics

The spearmint plant is characterized by its bright green, lance-shaped leaves with serrated edges. The plant typically grows between 1 and 3 feet tall and produces small lilac or pink flowers that bloom in summer. 

Spearmint's stems are square, a common feature among mint plants. When crushed, spearmint leaves emit a pleasant, minty aroma, making this plant an excellent choice for sensory gardens.

Spearmint Origins and History

The spearmint plant is native to Europe and Asia but has spread to various parts of the world due to its popularity and adaptability. It has been used for centuries for its medicinal properties and culinary applications. 

For instance, the ancient Greeks and Romans used spearmint in their baths and as a flavoring agent. In medieval times, it was employed to freshen breath. Today, spearmint remains a staple in many gardens and kitchens worldwide.

Spearmint Plant Care: Growing Tips

Growing spearmint is straightforward, making it an excellent choice for novice and experienced gardeners. Here are some essential tips for cultivating healthy spearmint plants.

  • Sun: Spearmint thrives in full sun to partial shade. However, more shade is needed to reduce its flavor intensity.

  • Temperature: Herbaceous perennial hardy in Zones 5 to 9

  • Soil: Spearmint does well in moist, well-drained soil of average quality and pH.

  • Planting: Plant seeds or cuttings in the garden after the last frost date. If growing in containers, ensure the pots have good drainage to prevent root rot.

  • Watering: Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Spearmint requires regular watering, especially during dry spells, but does not like constantly soggy soil. 

  • Fertilizing: Spearmint doesn't require heavy feeding. A light application of compost or a balanced fertilizer in the spring will promote vigorous growth.

  • Pruning: Regular pruning encourages bushier growth and prevents the plant from becoming leggy. Pinch back the tips of the stems to promote branching and remove any flowering stems to extend the harvesting period.

  • Pest and Disease Management: The spearmint plant is relatively resistant to pests and diseases. However, it can be susceptible to rust, powdery mildew, and aphids. To reduce disease risk, ensure proper air circulation and avoid overhead watering. Treat any infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.

  • Managing Spread: Spearmint, like other plants in the mint family, tends to grow and spread rapidly. Consider growing it in containers to prevent this. If planting it in the ground, install physical barriers like buried edging around the planting area to help contain its spread.

Uses and Benefits of Spearmint

Spearmint is a versatile herb with numerous applications in the kitchen, garden, and beyond.

Culinary Uses: Spearmint's fresh flavor makes it a popular ingredient in various dishes and beverages. It is frequently used in salads, sauces, soups, and desserts. Spearmint is also a key ingredient in beverages like mojitos, mint juleps, and herbal teas.

Medicinal Uses: Spearmint has been traditionally used for its potential digestive benefits. It can be brewed into a soothing tea to help with indigestion and nausea. Some people use spearmint as a mild remedy for headaches and respiratory issues. Always consult with a healthcare provider before using spearmint medicinally.

In the Garden: Spearmint is an excellent companion plant. Its intense aroma can deter pests such as ants, aphids, and flea beetles. Meanwhile, it attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies, benefitting other plants in the garden. 

Aesthetic Appeal: Spearmint adds a lush green texture to garden beds and borders. Its pleasant fragrance and attractive foliage make it an excellent choice for sensory gardens and pathways.

Aromatherapy: Spearmint's refreshing scent is often used in aromatherapy to promote relaxation and mental clarity. Adding fresh or dried spearmint leaves to potpourris, sachets, or bathwater can create a soothing and invigorating experience.

A valuable book for non-lawyers and lawyers
Why would non-lawyers want to read a book on persuading judges? For several reasons actually. First, many of us are involved in work that requires persuading others to adopt our views. While legal argument is substantially more formal and rule-driven than what most of us do, learning how to construct a logical argument as if it were to be delivered to the court, that Is governed by deadlines, restrictions on length, the need to adhere to established fact (or to establish those facts) and to be neither groveling nor inflammatory can be applied to selling your widgets. Perhaps more important is the fact that most people don't understand the impact of the court's decisions on our daily lives, our pocketbooks and our freedoms. Nine people sit on the Supreme Court. They cannot be removed except for the most grievous crimes and then only if Congress were to agree. More than one Justice has demonstrated that you can be senile and sit on the nation's highest court. Going down the food chain, the same applies to the federal appellate and trial courts. It is unlikely that one person in a hundred can even name a local federal district court judge and probably not one in a thousand could name the nine Supreme Court justices. Yet these men and women have tremendous impact on our lives, as do the thousands of state court justices. I am not a lawyer, but I consult to them and am not a stranger to the courtroom, writing drafts for legal briefs, doing legal research and the like. I have seen a lot of judges in action and have learned, in general, to fear them. They can - and do - cause tremendous harm through ill-considered decisions, making decisions with insufficient facts, assuming they know more than they do and myriad other reasons. They are gods in their courtrooms and if your lawyer fails to persuade them of the justness of your cause, you lose. Just how do these people reach their decisions? While justice is supposed to be blind (fat chance!), the justices are human and thus persuadable. Bryan Garner is a noted writer on legal writing. He is actually quite witty as he explains the use of the English language to lawyers who have had their understanding of words driven out of them in law school. Antonin Scalia is a hero to many for the courageousness of his decisions and dissents, his belief that the Constitution is to be strictly interpreted and his generally brilliant writing style. In 115, frequently witty, short chapters the two authors (who occasionally openly disagree) lay down their thoughts on how judges can be persuaded. It is not all about legal writing; e.g, advice to not chew your fingernails and dressing appropriately for court. They advise on giving your oral argument, which a lot of sales and marketing people would do well to read, especially the guidance to "never speak over a judge". In a sales situation, I am surprised at how often the sales person displays his or her contempt for me by not only not listening to me, but presuming they understand the point I was going to make before they spoke over me. I don't know about you, but a lot of salespeople have lost business with me for doing that. Some of the points the authors make are points of contention themselves: i.e., "swear off substantive footnotes - or not". None of the material in this book is truly new. Law students get elements of it in their first year as do some college students. A lot can be found in books on to be a better salesperson: i.e., don't chew your fingernails, etc. And a lot of it is plain commonsense. But that doesn't mean this book is unhelpful. First, it reveals in tiny part how Scalia evaluates the briefs he reads and arguments he hears, which in itself is a fascinating peek. The authors also put things many people may have forgotten through lack of use into perspective. Finally, they remind lawyers and non-lawyers alike that you often have only one shot at winning your argument so you had best put your best foot forward. Scalia and Garner show you how to do it. Overall, this is a fun, informative and helpful read. Jerry

Like Having an Expert Looking over Your Shoulder
I am a law professor who spent 25 years as a Plaintiff's lawyer before deciding to teach. I've been before the U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeal many times and state appellate courts a few times. One caveat to consider: I expect to be arguing before the United States Supreme Court in the future. I hesitate to be too ebullient, lest you think that I'm trying to curry favor. However, I think that this book is great. Why do I recommend it? First, it is short. This book will accomplish much of what other books try to teach about advocacy, but in many fewer pages. Secondly, it is practical. It teaches writing skills, speaking skills, and how to be persuasive with limited time. Finally, it is not just for lawyers. Anyone trying to be persuasive can apply the same skills to other situations. For those of you who are politically opposed to Justice Scalia (which, believe it or not, includes some law professors)this is a joint effort by Garner and Scalia, and they frequently disagree. Hearing both sides of the argument on how to write or speak persuasively will help you decide how you want to present your arguments. How do my political opinions and Justice Scalia's opinions mesh? Can I be fair? I think so. He's a Federalist, I consider myself an Anti-Federalist. He as supporter of administrative delegation, I think delegation of congressional responsibilities to administrative agencies is congressional abdication. In short, I'm not recommending this book because Justice Scalia and I agree on policy, because on many policy matters we don't. I'm recommending it because I think it will help you. You wont be disappointed with the book.

Great Read
Great book, I enjoyed reading it. I am non-lawyer so I spent time having to read and re-read sentences and paragraphs but darn good book. Highly recommend it. Sometimes a person can be in discussion with an official, doctor, lawyer, cop ..whatever--it helps to remember arguments made in this book. Most folks just try to explain a situation, heaven forbid standing in front of a court or judge in a legal matter. But, this type of reading builds confidence, a strong vocabulary and so forth. It matters most trying to persuade a person or an institution..just winning, making your point in a clear coherent and cognizant way. This book can teach you these things.

You don't have to like Justice Scalia to like his book.
Perhaps an appellate brief that you wrote would have been perfect if only the judge had read it. The lesson you learned, hopefully, was that there is no guarantee that a judge will read your brief. The lesson you can learn from "Making Your Case" is how to write so that the judges will read what you wrote - preferably before your oral argument. Writing in a quite candid, lucid and entertaining style, Scalia and Garner serve up tips that even the most experienced lawyers can learn from. If you find yourself approaching the court's word limit, for example, you may be minimizing the chances of having your brief read, as judges really do favor brevity. How do you write for a court that is notoriously dismissive of higher court precedents? How do you best respond to a judge who asks whether you would be content with a remand? These and other critical questions are addressed simply yet insightfully. If your legal education stressed the IRAC approach (Issue, Rule, Application, Conclusion), Scalia and Garner take you a step further by stressing a syllogistic approach. Even if you have already been exposed to all the best ideas about persuading appellate judges, you are still likely to gain much rom reading "Making Your Case" because the authors organize all those ideas in a way that makes them much easier to remember and keep them in mind as you prepare your written and oral arguments. Justice Scalia calls his approach to legal reasoning and argument "textualism," which I understand to mean that his decisions are driven by the language of the law and of the case. My impression from reading many of his decisions is that he is often driven by ideology, so I can't quite square his book with his decisions. I also question the book's fundamental statement that the overriding objective of a brief is to make the court's job easier, as I prefer to write primarily for the purpose of winning the case. My criticisms of "Making Your Case" are miniscule compared to those thrown at it by Richard Posner. But although I find Judge Posner's decisions generally more fair than those of Justice Scalia, I prefer the clarity of Justice Scalia's writing - especially when he teams up with Bryan Garmer. Judge Posner notwithstanding, Scalia and Garner have put together a gem that is likely to prove invaluable for law students as well as for trial and appellate lawyers who are still interested in improving their game. If you fall into either category, buy this book, read it two or three times, and then keep it handy as a reference. It should help you make your case.
