Catnip Blooms

IMG_9359Catnip blooms in the parkway garden.  There are four big bunches of catnip this year.   After blooming and seeding out these plants will be done for the year.  Raspberry bushes will fill in nicely.  Hopefully next season the catnip will be able to grow amongst the raspberry bushes.  It looks like a lot of seed will be spread from the current crop.

IMG_8996Catnip blooms in the front parkway; finally!  There are three bunches of catnip that somehow survived all the turmoil that happened with that corner at the end of last season.  With the added garden space there is more catnip this year than last.  It will be interesting to see where it migrates next year as the raspberry bushes begin to dominate.

Here’s a nice shot of catnip in full bloom in sunset light on veranda level north wall.  This is catnip’s glory days.  After seeding out it pretty much dies and should be pulled.  Cats go crazy for the white flowers.
