Cats and Catnip
Planted a short row of catnip in the new grape arbor this year,
figuring our cat would enjoy it. After reading the planting suggestions on the package, I thought I would try for an extra good stand and bought three packages instead of one. Germinated well, and when the sprouts looked big enough to fend for themselves, I showed Fluffy where it was. She was suitably greatful, however... It is now apparent that I underestimated her ability and persistance in grazing the little plants nearly flush with the ground. Moreover, she has now determined that directly on top of the poor things is a great place for a morning nap. And afternoon. And evening. I guess I don't mind, as I planted the stuff mostly for her to enjoy, but it is unclear whether any of it will survive long enough to naturalize. I think I'm going to have to make a stronger run at it next year. Maybe three rows with ten seed packs, about an order of magnitude more than one might think reasonable. |
