I first started growing in the 70's but I'm currently down with a bad back.
Mint is pretty easy to grow, my neighbor has some growing in their front yard. I'd keep it in a pot/container because - how much mint could a person need at one time?
YMMV...

Post some pics!
Mint is easy to grow...its also a very invasive species. If your growing it inside youll be fine but it will grow and never stop. Mint generates a massive root structure so like if you grow it outside the roots literally sprawl eventually all throughout your lawn then pop out of the soil and grow. Its why plucking the leaves off or ripping a mint leave plant out rarely stops it. New plants will pop along its root system. Herborovires do not eat it either so it basically has it made once its set loose. Really easy to grow though.

lol expensive light to grow things that make up salsa. For the cost of a Solarstorm I think I could buy all the components for Salsa till I retire from my current job and I am not old..lol. Kinda like paying 45k for a Chevy Volt that gets 40-50 miles per gallon when the 2012 Honda Civic gets about 40 for under 18k

That's why I suggested mint, outside, in a pot.
