Ooh, that is pretty. I got lucky on mine; bought it for a song after it had bloomed out last year and was just trusting the picture on the pot. It turned out to be prettier.

I don't mind if the herbs crowd each other and limit growth; like as not I'll be using them very little, but I hate having to use dried when the recipe calls for fresh and I REALLY hate how much the grocery store charges for "fresh".

Your baby robin reminds me of the time we had a chipmunk pissed at a baby robin who was perched on the wooden ties lining the ground under the bay windows on the back of the house. Baby was waiting for mom, who was out in the yard looking for breakfast. Chipmunk considered the ties his own personal undercover freeway and made a couple of runs at the baby trying to get it to hop off. When baby was finally intimidated enough that he did, the chippy chased the poor bird halfway across the yard because it wasn't that keen on flying yet and besides, Mom had told him to stay put.
