plants

I have a dream of having a huge garden someday. So far that hasn't happened because I don't feel like creating a useable area in a house we won't be in for more than 2 years. Last year we attempted to plant some herbs, but they never really grew. Albert ate some of them and the rest just never got taller than an inch or so. This year Matt decided to go buy some more seeds to plant. We just planted them on Saturday, which is a little late to start, but whatever. There are already some little sprouts popping up. It is so exciting. We planted green beans, tomatoes, okra, broccoli, parsley, and basil. Hopefully we will actually yield some produce from them. Also...an update on the baby bird. This past weekend we saw the mother, father, and the baby out in the yard. We still occasionally see the mother bringing in food to the nest, but I don't think there is anything there. Maybe they are using it as storage. It appears that the baby will live! We have some cute little cardinals in the yard as well. The boy always brings food to the girl, and it looks like they are kissing. I tried to take some pictures, but it is nearly impossible to get a decent shot through the dirty window.
