I always thought cats didn't bother catnip unless it had been crushed?? My grandma used to grow catnip (don't know why, she didn't have cats nor did she ever pick it) and the stray cats never bothered her plants, unless she crushed a couple leaves or Grandpa stepped on it. Or maybe they were clever cats, and hid the evidence of their attacks very well...

I live with two feral cats that I think found us via our catnip we planted for the bees and butterflies. I give it to them (the cats that is) all of them time, and they know how to crush it and sniff.

I tried to grow some of my own herbs this spring, but the bunnies got to them before i did!

I'd love to grow my own herbs, I've just been kinda scared to do it. So, I've resorted to using dry herbs instead. But after reading through this, I think I can do it and can't wait to start.

So, here's a question. Did you start with starter plants or seeds? If seeds, how long before the herbs were able to be picked?

I'm hoping to do some basil, rosemary, dill, and who knows what else :)

We grow cilantro. That is the only thing that we can grow. We do however, grow some jalapenos that we use as seasoning. They seem to grow well in the different weather that we have her in California.

I started mine from seeds. But I don't know when to pick them because the bunnies picked them for me. LOL
