Ready for #Harvest: All of the #catnip #flowers from the past few weeks have mostly transitioned into flavorful #seed #buds – which are the part of the plant that cats love. We clip these thick #bud #clusters, dry, then store them until packaging this fall. #nature #cats #garden

The transition: the former #catnip #flower #bud clusters are now developing into thick and dense #seed bud clusters but still have some #flowers and #bees mixed in. These will continue to transition and begin to dry a bit on the plant looking more golden colored as they do. #cats

Beyond mid-season & about 4 weeks from our first #flowers and our #flower #bud clusters are transitioning into thick & #flavorful #seed #bud clusters with a very attractive scent… that cats love best! It is these clusters that we harvest, dry, sort and package for sale on Amazon

Notice that the #buds – once #pollinated by the #honeybees – have now transitioned into cupped green #seed buds - the part of the #catnip that #cats crave – SO flavorful! These bud clusters grow taller and taller all season long and may have hundreds of buds before harvest time.

More progress brings on those tiny 2mm wide white and pink #catnip #flowers. From a distance they see unremarkable but up close they are rather pretty with some unique markings. And the #pollinators like them too including a hungry #honey #bee. More images coming. #kittycatnip

Every day brings new progress with our #kittycatnip #flower development. These images show our tiny 2mm #flower #buds which are about ready to pop. Next comes the bees. Then after #pollination they will transform into our flavorful #cat #loving #catnip seed buds. Stay Tuned!

These #catnip plants are concentrating all of their energy into producing #flower #bud clusters from a central stalk as seen in the center of the images. We should be seeing flower #buds in just a few days – then the #bees will be coming. Stay Tuned!

All spring these #catnip plants have been #growing wide then tall with one goal – to produce #seeds. What you see here is a concentration of leaves in the center of one of the growing stalks that in about 3 weeks will begin to produce #flower #buds! Stay tuned!

Finally - after a long winter - new #catnip leaves are popping through the leaf litter and will soon be basking in the #spring sunshine marking the start of a new #growing #season. We should be seeing our first flowers in about 110 days.

#kittycatnip flower #buds that are full of #pollinators - mostly #honeybees, but also moths, butterflies, and #pollinating flies too. And with all of this #bee activity the #catnip #flowers will transition into thick #catnip #seed #buds – & soon ready for a late #summer #harvest.

Flowers, right on time! These tiny, 3mm #flowers are on the tip of some 5 foot tall #kittycatnip #plants with the #Manastash ridge behind them. These #flower #buds will thicken after pollination as they transition to seed buds – the most flavorful part of the #catnip plant.

#Kittycatnip in #garden 3 are reaching for the sky at about a foot tall now. The spread out #plants provide lots of room for growth making these potential giants this #summer. In just a few weeks the tiny #catnip #flower #buds will begin to emerge. Compare this to previous weeks!

Our new and old #catnip #plants are basking in the warm #sunshine. The first are a cluster of established 3rd year plants while the one by the post is a 2nd year transplant. The leaves is a natural barrier against weeds helping our verdant #Kittycatnip to grow #organically.

This is a typical second year #Kittycatnip #plant in our #garden 3 being winterized with fresh leaf litter #mulch. This provides an environment for #earthworms to enrich the #soil while naturally eliminating any competition. Should be tall and shaped like a xmas tree by summer!
