so i was cutting the grass in my back yard and i notticed a huge patch of the yard that wasnt grass at all. im pretty sure its mint of some kind cause when i went over it with the lawn mower the smell was pretty powerfull. i really dislike the taste of mint so im not planning on eating any of it any time soon. but my question is, can the smell alone be a way to identify it, and is there any other uses for it than just food? i really know next to nothing about wild plants i tend to stay away from them because i dont know how to identify them. im color blind so i know i cant use the difference in color for identification of most plants. my main thoughts are that if i cant positively identify it, im not going to eat it.
