Planting Catnip

https://i.postimg.cc/jj8Ck8KW/vlcsnap-2020-09-19-08h27m42s259.jpg

I have been adding plants that have a nice aroma to them, or at least is offensive to mosquitoes. I planted some Mint for this reason. And another plant that I placed into the ground is the Catnip plant. I dug a few holes and placed them in with some of the dirt that came with the plants. They were delivered in styrofoam cups and overall in good condition. The leaves were a little droopy but probably from being shipped in the summer and such.

It is part of the mint family, so makes sense it repels mosquitoes. And it will have the added benefit of being an herb for the cats. We usually buy Catnip in bottles at the local market. But I think growing my own and it being very fresh the cats may like it more.

Buying a few of these Catnip plants, I find spots will full or mostly full sunlight during the day. The plants looked pretty unhappy for the first few weeks, but since planting them awhile back I can say they are much happier now.

Looking forward to the reaction of the cats when I bring some inside. I need to look into how to give it to them, I may need to roast the leaves or dehydrate them. Not really sure, but Ill look into it once the plants put off a bunch of leaves. For now I want them to grow stronger and make alot of growth. The cats love the stuff so I think they will like the ones I am growing as well.

Maybe in a year or so they will grow alot, being part of the Mint family I will not underestimate their growing abilities. As Spearmint was ready to harvest on the first year, not sure about this Catnip or the Lemon Balm I have.

Hoping this winter the plants will have enough energy stored up and will go dormant until the weather warms back up. Curious to see what their flowers look like. I wonder if it will be little spires like the Spearmint has.

Now I have three mint plants growing. So far it seems like the Spearmint is the most vigorous. But maybe over time the same will happen to the Catnip and Lemon Balm. If they do I may need to move them. But for now ill just keep an eye on them and see how they do.

Spearmint, Catnip and lemon balm, those are really spicy, I remember using one of lemon to make a mosquito repellent naturally apply it on my skin to repel mosquitoes and it works really well. I think you have a nice strategy to repel the mosquitoes, sometimes it can be rigorous to grow them

Hah yeah the stuff is pretty strong. And yep I've rubbed mint leaves on me and it keeps them away. And yeah Mint can be a crazy grower. So I plan on placing it carefully.

That's a good idea in pushing away the mosquitoes. I'm wondering if it's expensive so I can buy something like that. Instead of using catol or smoke in pushing away. It's good to use a plant where it's healthy to a human body. thanks for the tips.

If you have ebay in your country then that would be a good way to get them. I paid about $5 a plant on there..

Also craigslist is a good way to get plants if you have it in your region.

Yeah using plants to keep them away is much preferable to using chemicals to keep them away.

This sounds like I'm being facetious, but this is actually a serious question: are you at all concerned about neighbourhood cats getting stoned in your yard?

We do have cats that visit the yard. But they have not seemed to have noticed the catnip yet. If it becomes a problem I may need to build a wireframe dome over it. I've seen others do that to keep the cats from crushing the plants.
