Mint is very easy, but be careful! It takes over. I have some spearmint in a pot this year but don't know what I'll do with it. If you want to grow regular mint, you could try burying a flowerpot with the mint planted in it. I've heard that keeps invasive plants from spreading but I've never tried it. I also have memories of picking mint in my mom's garden as a kid. My sister used it to make sun tea (mint in a glass gallon jar of water, set in the sun all day).
