You will never believe my human’s latest garden blunder! Of course, my nip plant was the recipient of her feeble-mindedness.
It does not look too bad here, although you will note it does not look a whole lot bigger than the last time I wrote about it. So let’s take a closer look.
The leaves were starting to dry up. The poor plant was parched! My human went to check on it earlier in the week and it was limp!
And here is why! My human put the sprinkler timer on “Rain Off” the last time it rained — which was weeks ago! I think it was even before Christmas, because we have been having a very dry winter here. There I was, basking in all those awesome sun puddles, totally unaware that my human’s mistake was killing my nip plant! Luckily, she finally figured it out and turned the sprinklers back on. You would think all the other limp plants and the brown grass in the front yard would have given her a clue.
I can’t trust her with anything.

Our outside Nip is all killed by the colds. Its nice ya got an inside one ta get ya through the Winter. We do too.
We hafta remind TBT ta help our Nip plant too. We got one inside growin in water and it needs to get into dirt. So we are watchin it real careful…
Well, thank goodness your mom figured it out before it was too late!
Don’t be too hard on your mom, she isn’t a cat! Our mom managed to kill every plant she owned and she has a BS in botany! Her excuse? It wasn’t horticulture!
we’re glad to hear you say your human does a better job taking care of you and your roomies, Sparkle. whew! 🙂 our mom is pretty hopeless with plants too…and she works in agriculture! (shhhh…don’t tell her bosses…)

Don’t worry , Sparkle !
Nip is die hard !!!!!
By the way, I miss you and the rest of the crew : )
many hugs from me

Ooopsie, that was a big mistake your mom made!
We hope your nip recovers. Our mum forgets to water the indoor plants and only remembers when they are floppy.
Just think, you may have had to settle for that low quality store bought stuff.
Thank heavens it was found before it was TOO LATE!!! My goodness…such a tragedy that would have been were it too late!

Oh no, not your nip plant! Back to the pawing board!
I think your nip will come back. I will cross my hooves for you
I’m glad it wasn’t too late to save your nip. That would have been a tragedy.
My mom can’t grow anything without killing it. I’ve given up on her.
Sigh, what else can go wrong? Here’s to watering your nip again and hope it grows like crazy now. Keep us posted.
I do hope your nip plant comes back. I am hoping my human will try growing some too!
Sparkle, that is why we has to watch them to make sure they don’t forgets to do things. How awful that your human did not water your nip!

So sorry you are having trouble with your catnip plant. Hopefully, it can be saved…. I know you are very sad…. but watch it and it might come back for you.
pawhugs, Max
MomKatt can sympathize w/your hooman, Sparkle. Any type of yardwork is anathema to her. She was forced to mow the lawn as a child, and has hated anything smacking of growing stuff or yardwork ever since. Even house plants! Plus she claims to have a “black thumb”. But I think w/some water, your ‘nip will perk up nicely! Perhaps she should tie a string around her finger to remind her to water it ….
PURRS!

Oh, there’s nothing worse than reckless nipicide! Thankful this was only an attempt.
I would demand several other plants, just as back upon in case she get forgetful again.
Yikes! We hope your nip plant has perked up now, we think they must be pretty hardy. Okay, we HOPE they’re hardy!
Dang oomans – we has to watch every move they make to make sure they are doing things right. You just can’t trust them.
sheesh….. although, we think that at least you HAVE green plants…..our balcony plants all died the last time it froze 🙂
Oh wow…talk about a loss of trust…can you ever get it back once it’s gone? I think you deserve at least 3 nip plants to replace the one she killed.
ThanKs for the reminder, Sparkle. We have had no rain here either. Our catnip is probably parched too.
Don’t worry Sparkle, I’m sure it will perk up in no time!
Big demerits for your human, Sparkle! We hope the nip can be saved.
Oh No rain. Sure glad the human checked the nip. That would have been so sad if that nip plant had had to go to the bridge. But nip is pretty tough stuff. Our Mom has forgotten to water ours and it survived. Glad it is OK. Take care.
Thank Cod nip is hardy! Our peeps are also slow & untrustworthy. Hope she learned her lesson!
You can always rely on our humans to let us down by doing something silly. Thank goodness you didn’t lose that nip plant.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
