conversations.value: Can you walk me through the solution of: Gilbert grows herbs in his yard to use in his cooking. At the beginning of the spring, he planted three basil bushes, a parsley plant, and two kinds of mint. Halfway through spring, one of the basil plants dropped seeds from a flower and made an extra basil plant grow. However, a rabbit came by the garden near the end of spring and ate all the mint. How many herb plants did Gilbert have when spring ended?

conversations.value: Gilbert planted 3 + 1 + 2 = 6 herb plants.
  He gained a basil plant when one of the basil plants seeded a new plant, so he had 6 + 1 = 7 plants.
  The rabbit ate both mint plants, so Gilbert had 7 - 2 = 5 herb plants when spring ended.
