catnip:  I'm trying to grow a catnip plant in my office, so I
can clip pieces of it for my cats.  Not a hope of growing it at home or
in the garden, of course.  I'm keeping it moist and it gets normal office
light.  It's sulking a bit, occasionally bottom leaves fade away.  
Any one know what's wrong?  Maybe it needs more light?  less water?

gardenias:  someone said drafts were a no-no.  My gardenias grow
outside, in the wind and the rain, so I doubt the plants care
about drafts.

african violets, on windowsills in the bathroom:  I've had bad luck with
miniatures on window sills, they seem to be too sensitive to cold.  The
regular african violets do okay.
