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. -- John F.

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.

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. 'So what? It's all over out there, you see?' They just don't care. Jane - owned and operated by Princess Rita Where do you live?

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. Jo |
