I've occasionally seen Humming Birds outside my front door near the
garden. I think they're really cool, and would love to attract more.

I bought a Humming Bird feeder, which is sort of an upside down liquid
dispenser filled will with some REAL sugary sweet bright red stuff.
We haven't seen one Humming Bird.

Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on how best to attract the
little buggers.


We never had any luck with the red juice and feeders. Plus, I've heard
that if you don't clean them every three days, the fluid with ferment
and poison the hummingbirds.

This year, GF planted a bee balm plant, several cosmos, lots of zennias
and we have a rosa regosa. Now we get at least one hummer every
afternoon!
