Maybe we have different growing conditions here in Australia. Or maybe it helps that my cats only like dried catnip!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8961605850025742393.post-43402185400073293912012-05-24T23:57:13.203-04:002012-05-24T23:57:13.203-04:00Heres the good news...catnip has many varieties (l...Heres the good news...catnip has many varieties (like around 100) and grows as a weed in South Dakota! Very easy to grow and will spread everywhere! I personally allow batches of it due to my many cats (house and feral) and many friends cats benefit as well. As far as keeping them from attacking it..they dont seem to smell it unless the plant is disturbed. Then a minty like smell fills the air. I believe its more potent when fresh as they dont eat it to the ground. Unfortunatly I dont know the name of the variety that I have. Also, they dont care for catmint that much, and spider plants actually have some of the same affects as catnip but not recommended for cats to eat.Heidinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8961605850025742393.post-32460922062363739872012-05-24T18:07:47.881-04:002012-05-24T18:07:47.881-04:00So sad to hear about Parker.

I know she's working on it as I saw little baby nip plants started earlier in the year. They have been removed from my presence as my dad managed to sniff them out at some point and... well... you probably can imagine what happened. Anyway, she says she rescued some of the babies. Check out my blog posts from way back...

First piece of advice is research first, buy later and plant promptly :) <br /><br />I read someone grew nip in a hanging basket from a tall pole in their yard. Not very convenient for watering or harvesting, though. It will keep the cats out of it if the pole is tall enough. Might consider a hanging basket from a plant hanger on your house. Be aware hanging baskets dry out quicker than pots.Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847481653550841384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8961605850025742393.post-72320281431214193612012-05-24T09:39:34.667-04:002012-05-24T09:39:34.667-04:00It has been sad.....and we know it helps to have o...It has been sad.....and we know it helps to have other grieve along with us.<br /><br />Mom can't grow plants either.
