I just moved into a home whose yard contains a mint plant.  It has been
growing wild for several months, and is much too big for its location.
I would like to trim it back (and regain the use of the sidewalk), but
I'm concerned.  Only the outer part of the bush is green; the inner
stalks are grown, and if I trim it back as much as I want to I won't
leave any green.

Suggestions?  I can wait until winter if that's proper.  I like having
fresh mint, so total removal is not an option.
