NMSU has great booklets on practically anything a NM gardener would want to know about. Check out the Master Gardeners’ Hotline and/or the ABQ Extension Office or just go straight to the NMSU website. An ag school is a terrific resource and these guys know everything!

Hi,

I've never used a feeder. Hope you won't mind a "plug" for plants ~~hummers come every year to the salvia (autumn and cherry sage).

Hope you get the info you need to work it all out:)

Hello:  Hope you are all well and safe.  I have noticed that our hummers are here.  I have cleaned the feeders and put them out with fresh nectar.  The little buggers take a quick look and then ignore the feeders.  I am wondering what I am doing wrong?  I use a ratio of four cups of drinking water (from the store) and one cup of sugar, boiled and mixed.  Once cooled, the mixture goes into the feeder.  Not very interesting to our hummers for some reason and I am wondering why.  Comments from you hummer lovers appreciated.  Stay safe.
