What you didn’t fully see in this Sunday’s selfies is just how humongous my catnip garden has gotten! It is out of control.
It’s a jungle in there! My human says it is time to cut it back, and I think she is right.
In, like, five minutes, my human was able to cut this much catnip out of the garden!
And look at how much is still left! My human says that she should cut it back some more because underneath all the green it’s very leggy.
There’s nothing better than the aroma of freshly cut catnip. Okay, maybe it’s tied with freshly roasted chicken.
So that’s my nip garden report. I think I will just stay here for a while and take whiffs.

Gotta love that nip Summer. Very impressive garden

Purrz!

Ah, fresh nip! That’s some good stuff, right there.
Maybe become a nip dealer? Might be some good money in it!
We agree…its time to sit back and ahhh… whiff the nip!
Wow! Did you get a chance to roll around in the cuttings? That would be pawsome.
That looks wonderful.
Amazing catnip jungle, Summer!
I must get Mum to plant me some catnip too 🙂
Summer, we love your catnip jungle and you’re so lucky to savor all that catnip scrumptiousness! Ours is not that high because we’re getting a kind of “wintery” summer and we don’t like it all at! It’s been raining non-stop and mom calls it an Irish summer. At least our catmint is blooming, but we’re not as enthusiastic about that as we are about the ‘nip! Happy catnip trips!
Time ta stuff a sliced chicken breast with lots of NIP and poach it!
Holy Cat! Look at all that nip, Summer! Is it because you got so much rain this year?
Maybe!
Maybe you can host a giveaway or get your human to make toys. I’m glad she cut the stuff that went to seed.
Summer, you have the nip garden of our dreams! we either have a little catmint plant or catnip plant…not sure which. our mom will pinch it back every so often and give us the cuttings. we like to chew on or eat fresh leaves.

We think your garden is niptastic!
What a garden
Oh my stars! Look at all that nip! You, Binga and Boodie are SO lucky! You’re also lucky your human has a green thumb.
Summer, you could get the entire neighbrhood high with that nip! Have you considered making a few extra green papers by acting as a dealer? 😉
You, Binga and Boodie are very lucky kitties! That’s quite the catnip garden!
What a wonderful nip garden ! You are a very lucky kitty ! Purrs
Gosh Summer that’s a MASSIVE amount of nip you’ve got there – you could sell it and make some bucks! I can hear you on the street now “hey buddy wanna buy some good stuff????”………tee hee……seriously, I think you will enjoy the fruits of your human’s trimming and there’s still LOTS left.
Hugs, Teddy
I meant ‘Sparkly Summer’ tee hee hee! Mom made typo.
Oh, Sparkle, your so lucky to be outside with your nip. I can see mine from the window only. It has grown real tall. Do you think I should have Mom trim it back, too? The neighbor kitty rolls in my nip plants & sometimes breaks the stems, but she is a pretty lady so I don’t mind. When does your momma harvest the nip plants for grinding into dry nip? I’m not much for the fresh leaves, but love the dry stuff! You are mighty pretty sitting out in nature!
We dry them. The nip is actually pretty fragrant when first cut from the plant, but it diminishes after that.
Nice nip garden! You are lucky kitties.
holy smokes….mom says good thing it is in a container or it would be all over the place (purrsonally, we aren’t sure why that would be a problem). nice haul!!
How do kitties look when they want food?
Super super super cute!!
Ummm… You human need any help cuttin’ that nip garden back? ‘Cause uh… You know… I’m MORE THAN WILLIN’ to teleport on over and give her a helpin’ paw. Just sayin’. PURRS.
Your human has a green thumb! We wish ours did!

Mom! Go out and get ME some from my pot of nip!!!
Yummy, what heaven. Your eyes match purrfectly wth the nip, so pretty. We love your garden. Wish we were there. Purrs
That is some Nip Garden pretty Summer, maybe you should take a pound or two inside to Boodie and Binga!
Love fresh nip!! Dry the catnip and put in a container and you will have organic nip for a while.
Feeling a little jealous
Terrific! Now go dry it and you have perpetual nip!!
WOW! That catnip garden is pawsome!
