[QUOTE="BReeves, post: 3113639, member: 10973"] Before last year we saw a hummer pretty rarely even though we had a feeder out. Last year we were swamped with hummers one or more at the feeder almost constantly. I attributed it to the acre of sun flowers I planted out back attracting them to the area then finding the feeder. They must be back this year as they have gone through 1/2 of a quart feeder in the last 5 days. Haven't planted my sun flowers yet, hope to get it done before the next rain. If you want hummers, plant sun flowers. I use black oil seeds from a 25 pound bag of bird feed. I sort them through a wire mesh to pick out the largest seeds and get rid of the trash so I can use my old corn planter. For a small plot you can just throw out a hand full right out of the bag, most of them will germinate. [/QUOTE]
