Hi Christa, do you need germination instructions or planting instructions. 
Being an herb grower, I just thought I would mention that when you sow your
catnip (I sow mine in flats) just sprinkle them on top of the dampened
soil, mist with a little water to wet,tamp gently and cover with plastic
until germination.  It won't take but just a few days this way if the seed
is fresh enough.

Anything else I can do to help you let me know.  there is also some free
herb growing info on my webpage.

I am off to the greenhouse today to transplant many many many herb
seedlings into bigger pots from their flats.  I have way over 100 flats
going right now, with more in the germinating status.  I LOVE IT!
