Of Catnips and Papayas

My attempt at planting catnips months back bare nothing. There were some tiny leaves that tried to come out.. but gave up after a while. So i forgot about catnips and moved on *LOL* Well... i am pretty bad at planting anything because my fingers are not green :D

The only thing that survived my planting are jatrophas. But jatrophas are very hardy plants. They hardly need any tending or watering for that matter. *LOL*

My father loves to eat papayas. I have been buying papayas from the morning market for a long time. We used to have some papaya trees around. But they kinda finished their fruiting phase and just got chopped off. This time he saved all the papayas seeds and i ended up with a whole bunch of them. And so... my attempt at planting restarted.

I scooped the soil from my "failed capnip pot" and put it into a smaller pot. Poke a hole in the middle and dropped a whole bunch of papaya seeds in. Close it up and left it aside. I think that's how things are planted.. hahhahahahhaa

The picture above is the pot that i planted 2 weeks back i think. It doesn't look like papaya leaves to me. I think i am getting catnips after all *LOL*

Or a catnip papaya wannabe.. hehehehe.. I still don't know what i'll be getting yet. Hmm.. the leaves kinda changed again today.

The catnip plant above was planted by Stormy long time ago. Whatever he plants grows properly :) I sure hope i am getting some catnips this time. I have a resident Meow now that just stays in the garden every other afternoon :) He would surely love it.

Dat Person

Today i learned a new word/term.

Ayama said... a Dat Person is a hybrid between a dog and a cat lover. I probably won't go wrong with a Dat Person... cos they are dog and cat lovers too.

Strange but true. I learn a new word/thing each and everyday. Some things tickles me like hell... and sometimes... some things do make some kinda sense... hahhaahaha

So.. are you a Cat Person or Dog Person or Dat Person?

I am definitely a Dat Person too. I am growing catnips (sponsored by Stormy) now in my garden for the strays that comes once in a while to sun in the garden. Soon i might have the whole gang of neighbourhood cats in my garden... maybe they will stay for good... if catnips are available.. F.R.E.E... hehhehee.. I'll probably get myself into trouble if dad finds out what i am growing in the garden.. hehehhehehhehee

this is an old picture of Tommy enjoying catnip that Stormy grew :)

Catnips ~ Nepeta is a genus of about 250 species of flowering plants in the family Lamiaceae. The members of this group are known as catnip or catmint because of their famed effect on cats—nepeta pleasantly stimulates cats' pheromonic receptors, typically resulting in a temporarily induced euphoric state. Catnip is also known to induce mild euphoria in humans. (courtesy from Wikipedia)

I guess i'll be having a bunch of realllllllllly happy cats in my garden even before Stormy comes back home :) Either that or a very happy Dommy... hahhahahahahhaa

Mild euphoria in humans too? ooppps!
