| Hummingbirds love salvias and porterweeds. Those plants aren't expensive at the box stores and they are blooming size. Why not invest in a few of those plants for right now, and start slowly with seeds and cuttings to have a good selection for next season

| The hummers go nuts around my trumpet vine. I haven't been able to keep my feeders out so far this year. We are having such high winds they get tipped and everything runs out before the hummers can get to it.
