I would cut the plant way back so that it will bush out more and not fall over. Use the leaves that you have cut off to dry or use in cooking.
Reply:If you're talking about the herb mint, then by all means you need to pull the leaves and use them in tea, cooking, etc. You could dry it and use it later if you wanted. Quite tasty!
Reply:I've heard that the best way to harvest mint is to cut the entire stem, probably for you the ones that are falling over, and bundle them. hang them upside down in a warm, dark, dry place for a few days until they are dry. Then strip the leaves and store them. I put mine in ziploc bags and then use them for potpourri or tea. When you cut it back it just produces more. Mint is prolific that way.
Reply:Yes you can dry the leaves and also if you cut stems shorter, they will branch out more. I do that to mine.
Reply:YES, YOU CAN. YOU CAN DRY IT OUT ,YOU CAN WASH AND DRY IT OFF AND THEN FREEZE IT. YOU CAN FOOD PROCESS IT AND USE IT ON FRESH PORK WHEN YOU COOK IT.YOU CAN USE IT AS A BREATH FRESHENER
