Hand feeding hummingbirds is quite the experience.

I came up with my own way to remember the recipe for the hummingbird feed solution. Numbers often escape me, but now that I use my hand...I will never forget how to measure the sugar/water ratio that you called 1 to 4. I look at my hand & my thumb is the sugar & my other 4 fingers are the water! All fingers are the same amount & the math is no longer needed! No mistakes ever again unless I happen to lose a digit! These tiny birds have brought such joy to my backyard garden & even my dog enjoys watching them. Beautiful flowers in this guys yard.

I'm 4 years into reclaiming our 2.5 acre property from invasives and lawn. I've put in so many native shrubs, trees and flowers for the birds and pollinators. It's been so rewarding to see all the wildlife that raise their young in our yard and entertaining watching butterflies float from flower to flower.

One time I was standing still while holding my dripping garden hose and a hummingbird came and took a drink. A fun experience.

Of all our plants, by far they loved the Jacob Cline Bee Balm. Very red, and very aggressive plant.

You can. Once you have property, you start with one garden plot at a time.

I'm on Maryland's Eastern an my hummers have been coming back for a very long time, they buzz me while outside or fly back an forth at the kitchen windows. Last yr I did have 1 I've never seen here, it was all black an very fat, thinking maybe she was close to laying eggs an didn't want to go farther? I did see that one now an then all summer, an seen it again earlier in spring. Thanks for sharing this garden as I'm going to try an get certified as well. Now I'll go check out more photos.

Make sure to plant either Native Plants OR USDA Certified Organic Plants to make sure the flowers are not treated with NEONICS.

The birds eat bugs which makes the non-tubular flowers a meat source.

How do you keep the ants out of your feeders?
@chrisrada2411
@chrisrada2411 5 жыл бұрын
Ant moats hands down! There is a small dish on top of the feeders that hold water and they are available separately. Since ants can't swim, they can't get to the hummingbird juice. It's a another step in hummingbird feeder care, but keeping ants away from your feeders is well worth it.

Becky, I have found that some ants are smarter than others & they use their bodies as a bridge in order to get into the feeders! I found a youtube video on how to make the moat/mote & adapted it for my feeders. It requires a liquid detergent spout cap, a cork & 2 cup hooks. I used super glue under the cork & found long stem hooks worked better than standard cup hooks. Just research until you find something you can make or order them off the internet! I'm too cheap to buy em.:)
