LOL, more like several small (18"' tall) plants. We had to cull the herd, as
they were taking over the herb garden. They were on the way to the yard
waste bin, when I decided to freak Cali out. The 'Nip patch is actually got
a late start this year, as we pulled out too many last year.

Surprisingly Cali actually ignored the plants at first. But once I assured
her it was OK, she was right into it.

I thought cats liked catnip better after it had dried and aged a little
more! Pretty cute pic, Victor.

Where do you live? We've never had good luck with catnip, but we haven't
tried it in the ground. It always gets smooshed up by the feral cat that
hunts in our back yard.

Yeah, Cali seemed a little shell shocked at first. "I didn't know it came in
quantity?" :)

I'm in southern Ontario. I'm surprised we don't get more cat traffic in the
'Nip patch, but we rarely get any visitors. Although we did have one cat
that used to dig it out of the snow.

Hey, that's enough 'nip to get charged with cat class felony
distribution. I hope you know a good lawyer!

Sadly, my Kenzie doesn't even react to fresh catnip. She just ignores
it.

My two RB kitties (Lucky and Blizzard; ESPECIALLY Blizzard!) were real
'nip heads. I got fresh catnip from a friend; I used to call it 'kitty
crack'; compared to stuff I bought in pet stores, it was at least 10
times stronger. They would race around for a little while, rolling over
and over, and climbing the walls, and then wind up in a corner with a
silly look on their faces, until they fell asleep.

How I miss my RB kitties. I had forgotten their obsession with catnip!

I used to keep it in the refrigerator; when ever they heard me open the
door, they would run into the kitchen, hoping for a 'nip fix!

I'm just north of you up here in Oklahoma. I planted some nip a couple
years ago to see if my crew would react to home grown, but they're
just not interested. I have it in a couple flowerpots and it comes
back every year now. Don't think the neighborhood cats react to it
either, since no one ever bothers it (well, except for me, as I have
to watch it to keep it from spreading from the pots into the flower
garden).

That green in lower left? Catnip we planted last summer - obviously I
haven't been keeping The Gang of Four stoned enough. Anyone for a
toke? :-) Norm (Poconos, and Datsuns)

Cali loves her fresh Nip, she always looks for it when we come in the back
door. If we forget her daily dose she meows at us. Smokey is missing the Nip
gene and is only interested because Cali likes it.

I have never tried growing catnip, but I know that it is a member of
the mint family, and they are all known for being invasive. I am
currently fighting another invasive plant, having made the mistake of
planting English ivy in my foundation planting a few years ago. It is
now trying to take over the house.

Oh yeah! We have mint in the garden and it is an evil weed. An evil weed
that is good for making mojitos though... :)

Oooooh, mojitos! Yum and slobber! Dennis and I have been making
those and they are so good. Thai whiskey, which is actually rum, is
dirt cheap at $3/bottle and mint is only a few cents for a big bundle
at the market. These drinks are dangerous on more levels than one ;-)

Catnip grows wild out behind the house I grew up in. The cats just
look at you funny when you try to offer it up.

That's the biggest catnip plant (?) I've seen!

We had one a few years ago the cats could sleep under out in the yard.
Trouble is it got kind of woody and Charlie decided to replace it. Haven't
been able to get another one going.

We are in the central valley in California, it was growing in full sun and
it gets up to 105 here every summer. Only a bit of light frost in the
winter.
