My catnip garden has been looking very overgrown and sad, so it was time do do some pruning!
The weather hasn’t really agreed with it, and my human let it get way too overgrown and it’s yellow. Ugh! There was lots of work to be done.
My human hadn’t cut down more than two branches when the strong scent of nip wafted through the air! I immediately gravitated toward the cuttings for some fun.
My human spent a lot of time taking out most of catnip branches that were dying off, and look at the pile we wound up with! Most of it isn’t that great because she left most of the healthy, green stalks (there weren’t that many). But this is still an impressive pile of catnip.
And of course you know how it ended.
Since most of the catnip branches my human pruned were already dying off, they are going into the green bin. But we are leaving the pile out for a day or two in case the outside cats would like to indulge.

Epic catnip crop Summer, mew should definitely dry it, so mew can have nip all winter! MOL
We LOVE IT when TBT prunes the NIP! He saves all the leafs… You can guess what happens after THAT!
Summer, you should get your human to dry that nip for you. That’s what our dad does for us, or should we say he has some kind of appliance that does it for him! Hate to see it go to waste!

That is an impressive pile of catnip! If your outside cats are anything like our neighbor cats, they will have a terrific nip fest!
Well done for helping your human with the gardening, Summer!
Whew Summer. That was close. It will come back stronger. I always love your cute nip hat
We bet the outside cats will appreciate that, Summer!
I bet that pile of nip smells divine!
I have a feeling the outdoor kitties will love it!
It’s so nice that you left catnip for the feral kitties <3
How nice to think of the outside cats ! Purrs
That is a nice big pile. I think the outside cats will enjoy it.
Apologies for lack of commenting. We had friends staying for a week and then went on a short cruise. I will try and catch up where I can.
That is sweet of you to leave some out for the outside cats to enjoy. XO
I would think you would have rolled in that pile but
there should have been a picture if you did. Maybe
the outside kitties will do that. Very thoughtful to
leave it for them.
Dearest Summer,
That was much needed indeed and so sweet for leaving it there for the outside kitties.
Hugs,
