A Garden....and a City!

While working in the garden earlier today we realized that there is indeed ANOTHER nest INSIDE the wall!!  It is nestled very cozily up inside one of the holes left over from last year.  Mr. Rawls stuck his hand inside and said he felt eggs!  How fun to have more than one bird find our Vertical Garden as a nice home.  I enlisted my little brother to help me get this picture and as we turned back the flaps the bird flew out!!! It scared me half to death and I think we both jumped about a foot!!   We will be leaving the nest there, at least until the eggs are gone and we don't see any sign of the bird.  Who knows!  Maybe the birds will tell all of their friends and next spring we will have a little city living in our wall! :-)

A Garden and A Home

This past week I have been spending a lot of time in front of The Wall planting this season's designs.  So exciting!!  It's really coming together nicely and I can't wait to see it all filled out and blooming.  As I was working on one section of the wall I observed that last year's Parsley has finally decided to go to seed.  It was rather large and drooped a good bit on top of another plant.  It took some maneuvering to remove it, but as I pulled it out I found a bird's nest nestled underneath where the parsley had been!!  How interesting!  I don't know what kind of bird it was for, but I am pleased to know that The Wall can be used for more than just growing flowers and vegetables. :-)
