What Happened to My Catnip Garden?

February 12, 2021 By: Summer Samba22 Comments

Summer is upset by the condition her catnip garden is in!

While I was outside the other day, I checked in on my catnip garden…

It’s all flat in the center! I think an intruder has been sleeping in it!

A whole bunch of it is ruined. My human may need to pull out a lot of it and get it started over again.

At least the lower half of the garden is still in good shape. I may need to give it a try.

Yes, this definitely needs some examination.

Still potent!

    It looks like maybe you have a stray in your yard.

    So sorry, Summer, about your intruder in your nip garden. Hope the garden can be saved and I bet your intruder is one stoned kitty.

    If your Mom has to dig out the flattened part, it will still be good for whiffies – don’t let her just compost it !

    You are going to need to put a fence around it. 🙂

    That’s shocking! I have a feeling you might have a neighbor kitty stoned out of their minds!

    Your catnip garden should spring back. Our plants die back in winter and always come back in spring.

    So sad about your nip garden. Maybe your mom can dry it. My mom does all kinds of crazy things like that. It’s been hard to get any kind of plants here until recently, and mom is just now starting us some catnip.

    Hee! Hee! We are sorry about your intruuder! Our sleeper in the the CatNip was Kozmo! Luckily it was planted in a big pot and Mom could put some wire across the top to protect the roots. We cant wait for the garden this year! But right now, we cant wait for it to get warmer outside! Have an awesome day!

    I know how you feel. We used to have a catmint (that is
    correct – Mint) plot. Intruders used to come in and roll
    in it and sleep on it. What is a kitty to do? You can’t stand
    guard all the time. Good luck with your plants.

    Imagine somecat sleeping in your catnip!
    Well, if it was a cat I guess it would be hard to resist .
    At least there is enough or you to enjoy.

    That’s good that you still have some. I don’t have any more catnip in the garden because my mum couldn’t grow it properly!
