#16: Start a Grow-Op and Become a Dealer (A Catnip Grow-Op and a Dealer for Kitties)

I like the idea of gardening, and I love starting new gardening projects, but I often don’t follow-through on all the extra steps some plants require like fertilizing, regular watering, pruning, and so on. I forget, or I'm lazy. 

So luckily for me, catnip is a type of mint, and grows like a weed with very little help.

On one of my seed shopping binges in the spring, I came across some catnip seeds and immediately I had one of these domestic fantasies where I’d grow and dry my own catnip from seed, hand sew little vintage-y looking, somewhat ironic toys for cats that I’d sell for a mildly offensive price in hipster shops on Etsy, and become a world-renowned crafty hipster genius business owner.





Now, I haven’t really had a chance to start up my kitty narcotics ring business yet, but I have grown the product and my cat Lily can attest that it is quality. She loves it – eats it right off of the growing plants if I let her. It is always fun to watch her going crazy, rolling around, pouncing invisible bugs, and doing the ‘Stevie Wonder’ head roll.
