I am not an Earth goddess.

I kill an herb garden every summer. It's a ritual. This year, I've hung the container over my balcony on the theory that the shade of the balcony roof is why I so consistently fail. Still, I don't feel *very* confident. Confident enough to buy the stuff and fantasize about picking my own cilantro and parsley from the porch though

I say call animal control and ask for advice/assistance.

use a long stick to push it off the porch and ignore it. ~_^

or use two sticks like tongs.

different herbs need different kinds of light plus you need to remember to keep them well watered. i usually just make a habit of watering them a little every day.

re: black thumb. *nods* I do the same thing with the little potted pine trees for christmas - I buy them, confident that I will water them and care for them, and in the end, I end up with a dead christmas tree. If it wasn't for the cat, I'd start buying full size ones - at least then they'd have had a few years of life before I killed them.

That being said, most herbs like sun, so good luck! :)

re: dead bird - ummm...scary. I'd go w/ the poking off the porch, and then worry about it if it happens again.

It probably ran into your window.. they'll do that sometimes.
I'd use a long broom and just pitch it off.. there isn't any bird flu in the states, so its not too scary.

ah, good scientific explanation, where would we be without you darklordmoser. :D

I remember a whole family of cardinals killed themselves on my window as a kid, it was very sad for everyone except the cats. They feasted instead.
