Here we are - late #summer in our #catnip gardens and these #honey #bees are still working - helping to turn #kittycatnip #flower #buds into our flavorful #seed buds.

#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!

Another warm and sunny #spring day for our 2nd year #kittycatnip #plant which is about ready to bolt with #flower #buds after the threat of frost is mostly behind us. Compare this #plant to previous posts – and then follow it all summer long. #catnip #cats #garden

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!

Morning darlings 🤗 decided to get buzzed on some cat nip mum was growing 🤪 a good way to start the week 😆 might bake a #kittyloafmonday later 😀 Have a great week my dears 🥰 #MondayMotivation #MorningVibes #kittycatnip

Late season #Kittycatnip #flower and #seed #buds. Our #catnip #flowers are now a rich light purple color - this late in the season - compared to the more usual white and pink during most of the summer growing season. Without a hard frost yet – the #bees keep coming.

A beautiful example of some tiny but typical #catnip #flower #buds. And this one is about 3 weeks early growing as a volunteer in our greenhouse. And flower buds mature into seed buds which is what we use in our #kittycatnip products. #garden

Almost 3 feet tall and growing strong in this near #summer #solstice local #noon setting - along with the first emergent #kittycatnip buds of the season. We will be getting our first #catnip flower buds in about 2 weeks! #garden

24 inches tall now and more full, these 2nd year #plants are taking over and dominating this space in our mixed #garden 3. Just about a month before the tiny #kittycatnip #flower #buds begin to #bloom. #catnip #cats

Getting taller and wider. Compare this same patch of #Kittycatnip to the our post about 3 weeks ago. You can expect to see these semi-wild plants to be 2 to 3 feet tall in about 4 weeks. #catnip #garden #kittitascounty

Vibrant and Green - a new growing season starts. This image shows some second year #Kittycatnip plants popping through the leaf litter in our garden 2 - stay tuned for more growth stories. #cats #catnip #garden

Happy New Year from our #Catnip #gardens 2 and 3. Our dormant field this morning was enveloped by: #hoarfrost, single digit temperatures, and 10 inches of hard crusted #snow - which has been accumulating since just after Thanksgiving. #kittycatnip, #cats #nature

#honeybees, bumblebees and other insects pollinate these wild and tiny #catnip #flowers creating our flavorful #kittycatnip seed buds - as sold on #amazon.

Flies, Bees and Butterflies on some thick, flavorful and mature #Kittycatnip seed buds, almost ready to harvest. #bees #harvest #garden #catnip
