New garden residents

This one's permanent:



This one's probably temporary. I was at most two feet from this little guy, and he never once tried to fly away. He did move along the fence several times later and was gone by evening, so I'm hoping that means he wasn't sick.

Baaaaaaaby robin! I'm sure he was fine. It just takes a while for flying to become their first response to things. Or second, or third.

I found the remains of a robin's eggshell in the crack between the garage floor and the driveway when I was unloading the car today.

I'm glad you made a garden post, I have a question -- was it okay to put basil, thyme, and oregano all in the same huge patio pot? I know you've warned against mint and basil in the same place (which is why I haven't put my peppermint outdoors, even though I'd love to.) If I need to move one of the herbs let me know -- I have another patio pot I can shift one into.

Speaking of Columbine (the flower, not the OH) -- I have a purple-and-white one and a maroon-and-white double one (clicky to enlarge):

I'd never heard of a double before, but it's very pretty.

Columbine, yes?

I planted some columbine last year and then, stuidly, planted mint and lemonbalm in the same general area. Guess who won!

Adorable baby robin is adorable though. I approve of baby animals dwelling in my garden. (Er. Except baby groundhogs. They can gtfo.)

Ooh. I love columbine. I just have one really nice one this year, but it's in full bloom right now and just gorgeous.
