Default Catnip?

I've tried to start it from seed in the past with little luck. I
bought a package of organic cat ganja yesterday from Petsmart that is
mostly seeds and stems. Today I'll sieve it and plant it in a pot of
finished horse manure, with luck I'll have sprouts in a week or so.

On a more positive note four other sorts of mint are going gangbusters
on the west side - even surviving benign neglect through most of last
year's no-rain conditions. The catnip ought to do equally well in the
same area.
