I do see a lot of quail in my neighbor's yard though. <br /><br />Ribbit; We had such a sad occurrence with baby robins a couple years ago, now I try to keep them from nesting on our patio. Last year's finches got some protective fencing tacked to each side of the porch beam, so we didn't have any babies falling to their deaths. I swear, if that robin manages to get her nest built this year, I'm going to hang a hammock under it!<br /><br />Sue; Thank you, I think they are beautiful. I wish they would bloom all summer!<br /><br />Jen; Those pepper plants were started from seed in January. I wish the ones I started later looked that healthy, I don't know what I did differently. I hate to move them from the plant window, but I think they will soon overtake my laundry room!<br /><br />Several times we have had to give up the use of our patio, so as not to disturb Mama Robin!Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-9253701539161347452009-04-28T06:11:00.000-07:002009-04-28T06:11:00.000-07:00Your pepper plants are beautiful...and depressing!...Your pepper plants are beautiful...and depressing!
