Thanks for the advice eveyone!

If it rooted in your kitchen then as a potted plant it should grow in your kitchen also. Why not just pot up a small container of it and keep in doors?

I'll try that, if I can keep the cats out of it. I found shreds in the sink this morning. Can you put mint in Kitten Teriyaki?

Catnip is actually a mint so no wonder they are loving yours.

You should see what they do to Basil...freak out! So far they've only picked on the chives once.

I could never have anything growing in my house when I had cats. The worst was the aloe. Man did that cause a mess.

I think I'd rather be plantless...can't give up my kitties. Kinda like having a two year old around all the time...even when I'm angry with them, some part of me is grinning about their cleverness!

I know exactly what you mean

For some reason mine doesn't to bother the basil and parsley. Okay, I smelled basil on his breath once.

The aloe is in a hanging basket. He even eats cut flowers.

Princess, I've had mixed luck. Sometimes I can't grow it like that to save my life .... but when I can, it will kill anything in its path! I will say it loves "wet feet" and will thrive under a faucet that sometimes leaks, or under your roof's downspout. I, too, grow it in pots set in the ground to exercise some sort of control over it.

I have aloe going mental and the cats will occasionally leave fang marks in a frond or two. I speculate its when they feel a bit under the weather they chomp it. The new plant I got called "A Money Tree" has lovely little fang holes in every leaf within reach. Sigh. Brat cats!

I want to know who tried a bite of the rosemary... Latte' eats roses. I just found more mint dragged across the sink. Someone is enjoying it.

I had a dog who loved to smell herbs. She'd go into my herb garden and stick her nose in there and just breathe heavily. She also like the smell of ivy.
