| "Hummer Chillin' Out" Photo by Compost This! |
Hummingbirds are magic in motion! Today a hummingbird hung out with me at my apartment garden (this garden was constructed entirely on cement (no liner)). I believe I'm on her 'route' in that this is the second time I've seen her visit the garden at 2:30PM.
The Anna's Hummingbird (Calypte anna) is common in Seattle but I didn't think they would find my little, tiny, hidden garden!
I refuse to use hummingbird feeders (1) they need to be cleaned out daily because the sugar can go rancid and this can kill hummingbirds and (2) nectar is the true source of nutrients for these flying magical creatures. I got this plant last year on sale at Home Depot, as soon as I figure out the name (common and scientific) I'll be sure to post it.
All gardens NO MATTER HOW SMALL are important! Start gardening today! We need gardens EVERYWHERE!
