Too late, Barbara! Catnip has taken over. I thought it would be "neat" as a cat
lover....the catnip loves the garden more than the cats do!!! Started with two
plants, now have 1,000's and it regularly dips into the teens temp-wise here in
SoCal mountains.
But since I work on a dairy farm I figure I might try different things, i.e.
peppermint-scented goat's milk soap....what do you think?
