Today's post is somewhat short and sweet, off topic and for those like me who will probably be labelled "The Cat Lady" in our senior years (although I am called it right now, so age may not be a factor!)
Hubby and I started late prepping and planting our veggie garden. But even though we are a little late, being in California with great spring and summer weather we still receive a
bounty of goodies tardy or not.
Got the usual: corn, tomatoes, butternut squash, green and yellow zucchini, cucumber and a massive pumpkin patch (gotta have). I'm planting BLACK pumpkins this year and well as a HUGE ALTANTIC - fingers crossed! (that'll be another post!).
But there is one area of my garden that I couldn't think of what to grow in it. It's raised, behind the zucchini, so hard to get too once the zucchini is established - so I kept trying to find something pretty, attracts butterflies, bees and hummingbirds but benefits the family and garden...
Then it hit me! CATMINT! (NOT catnip, CATMINT). When established, catmint is beautiful - lush green foliage with beautiful purple flowers! Butterflies, bees and hummingbirds love it - almost as much as cats!
(according to researchers).
Yours can too!
the fur babies!
