Good luck with those perennial herb seeds. I have never grown catnip before - my old hunter warrior cat was not interested. Now I have a crop of young cats who are pretty spoiled, but I don’t think I will be gardening for them.
You all are way ahead of me. I have not started any seeds this year, other than direct seeding spinach outdoors. Spinach will germinate when the soil is forty degrees. Spinach is up about an inch high. I also took a gamble and planted snow peas and english peas this week. Tomorrow I hope to start Utah Sweet pomegranate and live oak from “seed” I collected. Just for fun. I cannot set out peppers and tomatoes before April 15th, so I won’t be seeding those flats for at least a month.
Happy Gardening!

I run about 1 in 10 success rate on the perennial herbs, so I'll be glad if I get one plant of each out of the batch.

The catnip is like mint. Every single one will make. I donate a couple of pots of catnip to the local shelter every spring.

I'll be starting spinach tomorrow probably, and maybe green leaf lettuce, assuming I have the lettuce seeds.

Catnip is always the first thing I plant every new year, because it does so well, it sets my tone for the year. ;)
