[net.garden] query: ...mint...

Those of you who say mint is indestructable -- Can you suggest why
my mint patch, which has been thriving in my garden for maybe 4-5
years now,  came up very sparsely and has grown only weakly this
summer?  I live in central PA where the tops normally die entirely
in the winter, we had a normal (not severe) winter last year, and
this summer was cooler and wetter than average.  The patch is
invaded by quack grass, but that isn't new and other years the
mint grew thickly in spite of the quack grass.  The area hasn't
been sprayed with anything.
     
Any suggestions?
