I grow catnip, chamomile, lavender & tulsi and dry them and mix for a wonderful tasting, calming tea.
how do you dry them correctly?
@@danielyusupov8507 cut some of them.. and dried them under the sunlight
As for me, I grow 6 or 7 kinds of mint - the regular one, chocolate mint, orange, apple, lemon, Melissa, - and I harvest and dry their leaves at the end of May. I usually grow them in large plastic pots from flowers I bought in nurseries. The reason: keeping the plants from uncontrollable spreading + for a better water retention, 'cause I live on a hill. Currently I have about 35 such plants. And I definitely will add catnip to my garden, since my son adopted two wonderful kittens. I started looking for it.
Mixing dry leaves from different mint plants gives a unique type of tea mixture that combine calming and anesthetic properties, so it is a perfect thing to use in tisanes.
And now, I'm going to experiment with catnip...
@@soupricemf1260 - the best way to dry harvested leaves and stems is in shade, avoiding the direct sun to avoid losing precious oils... I usually cut them early in the morning on hot summer days and put them on clean towels in my garden shed, going there 2 - 3 times during the day to turn them. - When dried, leaves go into big glass jars that I keep closed. The mixture, if stored and kept in dark kitchen cabinets, keeps its properties for years... Suffice to say that my friends around who are into natural healing and herbs ask me all the time to give them some for the their excellent properties... And I do it with pleasure
Lmao. The cat. I love how he claws you, you acknowledge that it hurts, and then keep going with your explanation. Ahaha. Another awesome video.
Unbelievably fine 🙂 wow
Yeshua(Jesus) the Christ loves you! Praise YHWH El Shaddai and may He bless you! Christ is the King of kings and Lord of lords!

To those who haven’t; Repent of your sins and believe on the Adon Jesus the Christ, believe in your heart that He has died for your sins and rose from the tomb on the third day and you shall receive the Holy Spirit of God and He shall dwell within you. You shall be saved. Be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit!

Evidence for Jesus Christ’s existence, crucifixion, and disappearance from the tomb (He rose from it):
The Lord Jesus Christ did exist, gathered disciples, and was crucified and went missing from the tomb. To argue about wether He was taken from the grave or rose from it, is an argument a skeptic can make. Because well if you disregard the eye witness testimony of the disciples and there willingness to die for Christ, and humans won’t die for something they know is a lie, when Peter is pinned upside down to that cross, he could have said that it was a fake, but He didn’t because it wasn’t, what care would he have about death in this world if he knew for a fact he had assurance of a life in another, Jesus Christ did rise from the tomb and is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Now the evidence for the Lord Jesus Christ’s existence really isn’t hard to find a multitude of non-Christian scholars and historians mention Him within 150 years after the time of His life. One such is Tacitus a Roman historian who reported on emperor nero’s decision to blame the Christians for the fire that had destroyed rome in 64 AD. Tacitus wrote:
“Nero fastened the guilt ... on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace. Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of ... Pontius Pilatus, and a most mischievous superstition, thus checked for the moment, again broke out not only in Judaea, the first source of the evil, but even in Rome…”
In this Tacitus makes reference to not only Christians, but Christ calling Him Christus and confirming the Gospels going on to say that He suffered the extreme penalty (crucifixion) under the reign of Tiberius and by the sentence of Pontius Pilate, which like I said confirms the Gospels narrative.
Another important source of evidence about Jesus and early Christianity can be found in the letters of Pliny the Younger to Emperor Trajan. Pliny was the Roman governor of Bithynia in Asia Minor. In one of his letters, dated around A.D. 112, he asks Trajan's advice about the appropriate way to conduct legal proceedings against those accused of being Christians. Pliny says that he needed to consult the emperor about this issue because a great multitude of every age, class, and sex stood accused of Christianity. At one point in his letter, Pliny relates some of the information he has learned about these Christians:
“They were in the habit of meeting on a certain fixed day before it was light, when they sang in alternate verses a hymn to Christ, as to a god, and bound themselves by a solemn oath, not to any wicked deeds, but never to commit any fraud, theft or adultery, never to falsify their word, nor deny a trust when they should be called upon to deliver it up; after which it was their custom to separate, and then reassemble to partake of food - but food of an ordinary and innocent kind.”
This passage provides a number of interesting insights into the beliefs and practices of early Christians. First, we see that Christians regularly met on a certain fixed day for worship. Second, their worship was directed to Christ, demonstrating that they firmly believed in His divinity. Furthermore, one scholar interprets Pliny's statement that hymns were sung to Christ, "as to a god", as a reference to the rather distinctive fact that, "unlike other gods who were worshipped, Christ was a person who had lived on earth." If this interpretation is correct, Pliny understood that Christians were worshipping an actual historical person as God! Of course, this agrees perfectly with the New Testament doctrine that Jesus was both God and man.
You may have heard of the scholar Flavius Josephus who mentioned James as being the brother of the Lord Jesus Christ, which matches what Paul said calling James “The Lord’s brother” and there is another document that Josephus may have written which goes:
“About this time there lived Jesus, a wise man, if indeed one ought to call him a man. For he ... wrought surprising feats.... He was the Christ. When Pilate ...condemned him to be crucified, those who had . . . come to love him did not give up their affection for him. On the third day he appeared ... restored to life.... And the tribe of Christians ... has ... not disappeared.”
Now it’s up to debate wether this is the entirely original document of what Josephus wrote, or if a Christian had edited it. But regardless he wrote about the Lord Jesus Christ. Wether it was negative or positive like the possible document is. Anyways there are many other statements, documents, letters, and writings of all sorts from the ancient world talking about the Lord Jesus Christ and there is not one question if He was a real person or if He was crucified and went missing from the grave. That is clear as day, He is a real person, was crucified, and went missing from the grave. And He did rise from the grave. And for more evidence of the Lord Jesus Christ, there’s the Bible and you see there is no evidence the Bible is corrupted, a lie, created by the Roman government, folktale. It is the recount of the Disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, now wether you want to believe it is up to you. And what profit was there in spreading Christianity, All the early Christian suffered persecution, beatings, and were killed. Another Scholar reported that James the Lord’s Brother was thrown off a building and then stoned to death for spreading the Gospel in Jerusalem. These people went to great lengths even giving their own lives for the Adon Jesus the Christ.

One thing I forgot to mention is that catnip is a rich source of selenium (if selenium is available in the soil) which is one of the nutrients that may be lacking in a standard diet.
No kidding. I never knew that it was a great source of selenium.
How can I tell if my soil has selenium?
@@bribango8981grab a fistful and start munching the soil. You will be able to taste the selenium in your mouth
What can I dump in my soil to add selenium for the catnip?
Long or short, I don't think you can produce a bad video with the amount of passion you have for growing! This one made me LoL for sure, and I always learn something new from you man! Much Love Brother!

Be warned mints spread like wildfire, i have catnip growing freely all over my yard.
Are cats attracted to your yard?
This is the cutest gardening video I've ever seen. 😹
I planted catnip for my cat and did not know it was also good for humans. I can't wait to add it to my diet of greens. Thank you.
"How to attract Feral Cats to your garden"
A negative douche, are ya?
Tairy Hesticles n u arent, leaving a negative unprovoked message?
Isn't that the goal though?
However rabbits will not come around!
Yeah! to spay neuter!
yes you can smoke it and I often do, this plant was a godsend in helping me quit tobacco- now when I smoke week I mix it with catnip, unlike other tobacco alternatives it doesn't have a strong herb flavour in the smoke and yes it does have a little relaxing effect of its own though very mild.
Yes, please! The shorter videos are easier to find time to watch.
As for catnip, it was one of the main ingredients in the Ukrainian Kozaky drink called Horialka. Hemp (u-hum) was #1. Also chamomile, slippery elm, Valerian, up to I think 21 herbs. Place in vodka, let it sit a while, strain and drink. The strained herbs were dried and smoked. Yeah for being in a Living History group :)
Ukrainian version of absinthe?
+BaltimoresBerzerker HA! Not that I'm aware of. I'm unaware of any percentage of people hallucinating from Horialka, as they do from absinthe (I'm not one, btw. Grrrr). The herbs that were (still are) used are all chill-out herbs. The Kozaky drank this in vast quantities. Until the battle flag went up. I can give you a very lengthy explanation if you wish, but think about this: the Kozaky were the fighting warriors of this society. That was pretty much their only purpose. When not at war, they're drinking massive amounts of a highly drugged alcohol. The battle flag goes up, no more Horialka on pain of death. Yes, this was truly punishable by death. All these battle-hardened men, drunk and stoned on chill-out herb laced vodka, suddenly cut off, cold turkey, and sent into battle. (They were allowed other alcoholic beverages, but not their beloved Horialka). You wanna fight one of these guys? YIKES! It is the national drink of Ukraine, by the way. If you wish to make your own (minus one, as we always put it in camp, since the main ingredient is still, unfortunately, mostly illegal), use some Sleepy Time Extra tea and steep it in your favorite vodka for a few hours to a few days, as you wish. PRESTO! a pretty good substitute of Horialka. Cheers!
+Teresa McCoy :) love the historical romance between warriors and the drink, that's hilarious and bad ass. unlike many viewers, I enjoy long versions too lol. if you have the time, I would love to hear your knowledge on history, ingredients, and production! I asked because I did some serious research into absinthe, and it has some of the same ingredients....lol is that banned ingredient a popular one world wide?
+Teresa McCoy Ah, I wanted to read more...you need to create your own web page. very interesting!
The intro to this video brought me so much joy, the giggling really got me
Catnip is wonderful for a sleepy time tea, for 10 years I usually yield 40 lbs a year and I donate to a cat shelter, when is it a good time to release the flowers for spreading , love your work so much ❤
wow a 7 minute video? This isn't right. Now i actually ahve to watch it.
+James Hansen One of the reasons that I Don't watch more of John's videos is 40+ minutes are to long..
+Joe Bucci no one cares...
Steve You obviously do. You took time out of your day to comment AND be a negative douche.
It never gets old 😆 its funny every time a cat goes crazy over a live catnip plant! 😻
you are never angry your always laughing :))))) me to
i dont have a cat but im going to plant some that way i can lure in the cute kitties x3 theyre so cute!
So did it work
Catophile
Loved this. Thanks John. I've been growing this for my cats. Never knew that we can eat it too.
I actually grow all my herbs and veges from seed, just use a clamp light with a light 100w, 1600 lumens, and 6000k. Thats what I got and they do great! Can't wait till I get the catnip outside in a few weeks, got a cat out there with a few other strays that just love to stop by lol
That's a crazy cat. My three cats will love catnip.
It's nutritious, attracts cats, and repels mosquitoes. I am in. Buying seeds today.
You had me at REPELS MOSQUITOES!
love this guy's attitude! hahaha :)
For me, the dried leaves made into a tea is the Prozac of the plant world.
This guys is excellent. So connected with life
I had to pause the video I was laughing so hard at your reaction to your cat.The best video I've seen! I'm watching all of your videos now. Thanks for all the info!
Great vid. I grow mine in two hanging baskets suspended about 8ft high and out of feline reach. I add pulp from my juicer to the soil as I do with my herb beds but never thought to put some into my juicer. Thanks man.
I love your energy and passion for gardening 😀
LOVE that t-shirt. Huge thumbs up for the shorter vid.
I love people who rescue animals. God bless you.
My wife planted bunch of catnip in our garden a few years ago. Within a week it was totally destroyed thanks to the gang of cats that would frequent our yard in the evenings to "get off". Like the short format too!
You have that George Bush laugh which goes off without any difference in the mouth expression 😆
Great personality. Have fun watching. Thanks for the short video. It seemed a little drugged out but your laugh is so entertaining
It even helps kill and repel fleas so catnip oil from the plant will be great and safe to rub on your cat.
And for dogs, I planted near my walkway where the dogs lay to keep them fleas away.
Aww you raised the kitty, how sweet!
My cats love fresh catnip and I have a huge plant I grew from seed on a large pot. Cats won't fudge with it but as soon as I break I leaf and they're near by the start to go crazy. So I usually just cut a few large leaves tear them up a little and throw it on the floor. They roll around for 10mins. I did not know we could eat it though... I really didn't and I never really wondered why it come in herb packs but now that I've watched this It all makes sense.
And that my friend might be a reason I should tone down the smoking of the human version of catnip :)
You definitely can smoke it, although I add it as well as rather than instead of. It adds that menthol taste that you mentioned. Great vid mate ✌️
Haha, my cat has never acted that crazy over catnip 😄
Well I love your energy :) and my kitty loves catnip. I used to volunteer at an organic farm and I'd be one of the only people that volunteered that would harvest some of the catnip every year. Then I'd take it home and dry it. I my gosh did my cat go nuts while I had it hanging all over my apartment to dry too haha. Anyway now that I moved to far away to volunteer there I'm wanting to grow my own. It seriously does calm my cat down and I am also interested in trying some myself...if Igmu' will share hahaha
I loved this shorter video! I actually have 7 minutes to watch it. Your cat is beautiful :) thanks for the info
Are there any other good plants to grow for your cats? I am trying to improve my cats health any way I can. Unfortunately I can't afford the expensive cat food, but I can afford seeds!!
Cats are carnivores
Catnip is also an antiviral for cats too it can help reduce the chance of infection.
I'm only @ 1:13, & I'm cracking up! 🤣
Hilariously cute! 😹😻😹
Thanks for sharing. I grow this every summer for my two cats from seeds. One LOVES it and the other not so much. I do have to grow it in a cage. Somehow the squirrels love it also.
Smoked catnip once. no effect. tasted minty though.
Clearly you’re not a cat. Not on the outside anyway.
LOL DUDE UR HILARIOUS WHEN UR GETTING CLAWED!!!!
I'm smoking a blend of catnip, Chamomille, and cannabis right now!!!
catnip wont have an effect on you😂😂 why do you smoke it
@Robert Hernandez i dont even smoke cause i have a life and better things to do
@Robert Hernandez why would i be scared of nature i live on a farm on a mountain, yeah there is bothing wrong with smoking but is it worth loosing 11 minuts of youre life to one cigarette oh yeah yu smoke catnip, but i would say drinking is so much more interesting but i would limit it
THAT'S AWESOME! Catnip was planted on my deck, initially, for the mosquito control (MN)--but then I learned about the awesome benefits from catnip----thanks for the jackfruit video---I eat that now too....you're awesome, man!
Lol. That cat was tearing you up. Kinda like teasing a crackhead. You were asking for it. Great video. Your videos are always highly informative and like others say, passionate. If I started a channel I'd want to do it like you brother!
THIS IS AWESOME I NEVER REALLY LIKED GARDENING UNTIL I GOT A ENCLOSURE FOR MY KITTY NOW IM LOVING IT LOVE THE VIDEO TOO CHERS
Thanks for letting me laugh with you, grew up with cats and i know how much they can hurt you by being just lovely :)
OMG he's hilarious!! I love your laugh!! I'm rolling here! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. I love your cat too
😺 glad I found this!! OmegaCat….looks exactly like my lil’Handsome…..same collar & everything 😸
He is also a huge CN guy….thanks for the tips
that was hilarious - we had a mommy kitty who got into catnip and was too rough with her kittens until she sobered up lol
Dood how much of that Catnip have you been eating? LOL. I love home gardening, being able to relax & watch the life climbing from the soil; even the plants that volunteered from seeds that dropped in years past.
Glad to see you in the search results for growing catnip! Keep up the great work
Love your laugh, can't stop laughing 😂
I laughed so hard thank you.. while I was laughing I subscribed somehow too. Win win. Lol
That is an incredibly beautiful formerly wild cat!
Aeweeee... cute cat. Love cats. I liked all videos so keep them coming. I like long videos better though. there's usually tons of knowledge on them. Thank you for sharing that with all of us :)
when I was a baby I had colic and my dad made me cat nip tea. he said it was the only thing that helped my belly and made me sleep.
Never heard of that! Amazing!
thanks for that John...now I know what to do with the huge catnip that made it through the winter here in NC.
lol Cat gone wild! I grow catnip every year. :)
Love it! Thank you for sharing.
Does it grow invasively? Like mint does?
It does!
Yes. Grow in large pots to avoid too much of a good thing everywhere (and nearly impossible to control or eradicate).
It does spread, but not as agressively as mint, but it is in the mint family. I found my cats could actually kill a healthy foot tall bush my chewing and rolling. You could control it by not letting it go to seed and I found it's not as aggressive in it's roots as other mints. But if you let it go to seed, you'll have new ones everywhere. I made that mistake with Shiso, Now my whole backyard is Shiso. And a mint got out of a pot in the front garden and rooted across 2 feet in the winter in Georgia.
Hey fancy seeing you here Jen! You’re one of my favorite creators on RUclips!!! Love the sound tracks in your gardening videos! :)
Catnip is an interesting plant. I heard it is in the mint family. I have an interesting question and want to know if it is possible or if anyone has attempted it. Cross pollenating catnip into basil plants or vice versa basil into catnip? We all know catnip and many basil varieties are favorite plants of numerous types of bees. Just wondered if it is possible to do something like that and create a Franken Plant like the African Blue Basil. A cross between catnip and African Blue basil would be an incredible plant. Possibly.
How has she been? I have a year old girl, she was born to ferril parents, several generations of wild cats.... The parents and grandparents, greatgrandparents... All wild, all barn cats. The owner of the farm, he has 26 wild cats, and he recently got assistance to fix the parents, after this litter, they were caught to be fixed. I'm not sure why he waited, letting this pair mate, but, I asked for a kitty and he let me take mine, she was 9 weeks, I brought her to the vet, shots... Spay etc.... But she's quite WILD!! she is not like your common regular house cat..
She's incredibly beautiful and wild! She only loves me, she is incredibly protective... To the degree she will attack, mostly those she doesn't recognize. KY family and close friends that she's been around since I brought her home, she's not best buds with them.... But she won't steal attack, however those she doesn't know, well... Let's just say, my dog should be embarrassed 😂 I am curious if your kitty is fully domesticated or a bit wild still?
Catnip smells like pot.
My cat sure loves it though :-)
Yes, 7 minutes is great! I would watch way more of your videos if you kept things more succinct. :)
John I will give you a CLAWS UP on this video.Do you ever come to NYC.If so you should visit my communitygarden at Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn,NY.It was NewYorks first airport.
love the shirt! cute cat! great info, thanks!
How do I grow it? What soil etc ? Cheers!
This guy has wonderful energy
your cat is stoked!!!~
I love that cat!
Ok,,you are a super great guy/man.So good to your rescue kitty .Luv that you let him stay in video.Thank you for this wonderful video.The kitty is charming.💖💛😇
Do you let it go to flower o get it's effects or is it okay to keep it in veg?
I grow catnip for my cats. they love it. Ive never eaten it. i will try it soon. I also smoke "cannabis" i will dry and smoke some catnip and let you know if it does anything. I doubt it though.
He's the best 😊
You should put some wiring or cage around the catnip. There could be wild or neighborhood cats (or your own cat) could get into the planted catnip and tear it up.
Good sharing. In asia catnip plant bit different but same effect to the cats. I grow it by myself for my cats. This videa encouraged me to take serious about my herbs garden😁..thank you..love to see the lavender behind and celery and greens around..wow..wowww
i tried to go to your website, its not available. i really dig your videos. thanks for the knowledge. ur really quite awesome.
Thank you. 🌸
He's literally crying at this point(1:15) I can relate
This man sounds hella fried. Bet that catnip works great
I eat catnip, stinging nettle plants and bee balm
When omegacat clawed I could feel the tears welling in his eyes 😂
I taught me cat to give me a paw when she wants a treat and if she is feisty cat it’s a paw with claws!!
Do you think it's OK to cut a fresh plant of catnip and pour warm or hot water for 10mins, or is it best dry catnip to make tea.
Fresh works fine. Just make sure the water is hot and steep accordingly. I do this with peppermint all the time.
lol growing catnip when you own cats that react to it XD!!!!!!!
I love your energy - so warm and gorgeous
I have a catnip plant for 8 months growing in shade and for the most part grew green, however starting in the mid summer months it started showing yellow and purple leaves. It’s still growing but still has many leaves growing purple, does anyone know why?
I need this in my life! Thank you.
keep the longvids but definitely into the shorties. both mate, both. can always save the long info for later or just enjoy the shorts right now on a break at work. beautiful Kitteh.
Thanks for the shorter vid and info, very interesting
stick it under a milk crate, cat can get at some but not kill plant
😂😂😂😂 dio cute that kitty Kat 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Beautiful kitty - my cas love catnip too.
I have however never thought about eating it but looking forward o giving it a go.
Will try it as a night time drink as my cats go crazy then go straight to sleep
Thanks for sharing
Don't give up on the long videos! It all depends on the topic.
I think catnip is what stimulates there happy hormones
Note,if you are living in Australia, or New Zealand.cat nip doesn’t work on our cats.don’t waste your money on it.they are Immune to it
💖 this made my day😁😉
Thank you, and loving your shirt!
