Catnip and Dogwood


We got two catnip plants at the farmer's market. The first one was squashed, and that was apparently from a cat butt sitting on it. The second one was protected in a tomato stake, but Kappa has been sleeping curled up next to it, guarding it, and eating it.
This photo is what Kappa does after eating too much catnip (eats dog food).

Also, horrifyingly, I almost killed Odin's dogwood already. Tom noticed the soil looked wet, and I hadn't put holes in the barrel, and when he made them, water poured out for like half an hour (albeit, through three nail sized holes, but I was mortified). I have never cared as much about keeping something alive as that tree, and I was so worried about it not getting enough water that I was drowning it.
