I dry most of my herbs but am trying a few frozen... Basil leaves picked and washed. . dried in the sun and layered flat in zip lock bag. . air removed and sealed. . labeled and into freezer. . Chives look good... No reason you cant try mint... My mint has turned its toes up so replanting is in order :}

Mint is dying down now, no replanting needed, it will come up again in spring.

#3 & #4 ... I have Mint all year around (in ChCh) the secret is keep cutting it back & as long as it is in a reasonably sheltered spot & kept damp ... no probs. Most culinary herbs thrive on regular trimming, in my experience
#1 I haven't frozen mint, it discolours so easily.
