Bioluminescence in the abyss

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.

*******edit***********

There is a bird corpse on my porch. As though the bird just keeled over there. Um... Maybe my gardens die because my porch is poisonous? I do paint minis out there... Or maybe it froze?

Jesus H, how do you remove a bird corpse? Without, like, touching it or really going near it?

  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.

      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.
