Debbie, you're more than welcome to start discussions on flower gardening too! Not just herbals. I love love love flowers & we grow many of them also, grow some for how they look, grow some for how they smell, grow some for the bees, butterflies & birds they attract, grow some for pollination, grow some for cutting & bringing indoors.. flowers are good medicine whether they biological medicinal properties or not! :)

Caging the catnip is a good idea... :) We have it in a hanging basket right now, but then they have to wait on us to provide some for them. If it were caged in the garden they could access what grows through without harming the core plant... so clever!

Ours go wild even for the regular mint, but not to the same extreme, they do like to roll in it and chew on it a little, but if it were catnip growing in that pot they can access they would eradicate every last leaf and root! lol.

Gypsy, sounds wonderful! My mother had a chocolate mint that was amazing, it smelt incredible, I never had it as tea though.

I should start growing more herbs specifically for tea, I drink a store bought blend I love daily, but growing my own, that would be nice... :)

Zeph, I love mints! and so do our cats. lol. I guess it's the same family as catnip and has similar if not as strong properties. We get the cats rolling around in the mint plants often. I've forgotten what varieties we'd planted.

It's amazing how many varieties of mints there are now!

It's raining here today. I was just sitting in the hot tub in the rain looking at the garden drinking it all in... :)

I came and played decorator fairy in the text box, as well as put in a feed with gardening tips. I hope you like the changes. :)

Bright Blessings and have a great week.
