I thought that this planter was doomed -- rain completely flooded it a few weeks ago. But now I have some green things growing....
Of course, I'm not sure what they are.
Can anyone with catnip tell me if that's what this is? Or is it just grass?
(this is SO embarassing...)

I think catnip is a dicot, so the veins in the leaves should be all branching, like you'd find on a tree leaf or other normal leaf.
Grass and grains are monocots, so their veins will all run roughly parallel with each other along the leaf, and not branch from a central spine.
But like I said, my botany could be bogus.
Does your planter have drain holes on the bottom? Wouldn't hurt to drill a few if it doesn't. Then you don't have to worry about the rain flooding it; any excess will just flow out the bottom.
