Mint seeds
How long does it take for mint seeds to sprout? Also, I planted 3 seeds in a 16cmX16cm pot, which seems too much but I haven't planted any herb's seeds before. Anyway, how long does it take for mint seeds to sprout?

How long it takes them to sprout depends on the temperature, but probably around 2 wks at room temp. But then they will still be a little slow getting started. It is probably about 3 months before you could harvest much mint.
6" sq pot is plenty for sprouting the seeds. Once the seedlings get bigger, you will need to separate them into their own pots. That size pot for one plant will probably get your mint through this season.
