    And mint. In fact, getting mint to stop growing is a bigger problem. My grandmother grew mint in her garden in a kitchen sink she buried in the ground so it wouldn’t escape.

        Bamboo is actually illegal in the city where my mom lives. She has some in a brick box along one of the borders of her house that were planted back before she bought the place and before the law, and a city inspector had to come out and make sure it was safe to grandfather them in. Which it is because the box would have to break for them to escape.
