My catnip plant is going to seed as we speak. So slowly I am trimming it back for hibernation. So this means I have more catnip than I need.
Here is just a small portion I cleaned up today. I know what it looks like, I can ASSURE you it is catnip. |
I have catnip in my perennial border and just let it go to seed every year.

I am assuming that it grew and grew because it wanted to make fun of you with that "wimpy" little trellis in the middle. LOL

I used to dry mine, make cat toys (simple fish shapes) out of bright fabric.
|
WOW that got nice and tall. I have it in my yard but it spreads out rather then get tall. My cat walks past the catnip and eats my herbs--silly cat.
|
This is expensive at our local hardware store--bought some once and put in small cat toys. A friend said to keep it in freezer??-not sure on that though.

My sister has 3 cats. She also has a LARGE mason jar with catnip in it, that she has had for MANY years. It is on the fireplace ledge where she sits to put on her outside shoes. Whenever she sits down there, the cats come running, hoping for catnip.Who knows how old it is?

Awesome. I read somewhere that Catnip will help keep the deer away. They are not supposed to like it. Anybody know if this is so?
|
wow, i tried to grow that inside & my cat devoured it! i was told squirrels enjoy it, too!
|
Some at would love that...

I have a close relative, catmint, and the neighborhood cats come and roll in it. It's quite tall if they'd let it stand up.
