I've looked everywhere for it now and can't find it growing wild anymore. I used to pick that mint growing up to make tea, never knew what the true name was.

I am not aware of any commercial or culinary value, but that's what it is. The unknown mint-like weed is Henbit (Lamium amplexicaule), and is indeed a member of the mint family.

All that land the cemetery takes up could be prime real estate for a nice sprawling housing development. Call it, "Oakdale Acres...where the quiet and serene are never disturbed."

Some people bury plastic pots or bricks in their garden and plant the mint in that area in order to contain the plant. I would rather just pull it up and make some tea. The mint always makes it out of containment anyway... All mint is invasive (or it just grows really strong and well, depending on your viewpoint I guess).

Well actually- the planting wasn't an accident, we just didn't know that it would take over like it did. We got it from Home Depot, and the tag says simply: Aromatic Herbs. Helpful. Ours has a strong, heavenly smell when you rub it. That mint looks like the wildly invasive stuff we accidentally planted in our garden a couple of years ago.
