In 2021, we planted catnip. We learned it had insect-repelling properties and held a catnip distilling workshop.
A few months and feet of snow later, we all need a charge. That’s also part of catnip’s potential. Have a look.
What a catnip harvest! Back on September 7, 2021, we harvested this bed, which will regrow this season.
