First of all, put me with those who like the "chattiness" of MDO. I don't know what people are referring to half of the time, but it assures me that I couldn't possibly ask a question or say anyhting that would be considered too dumb or irrelevant (though I won't stop trying). I have a question for those who know something about planting for hummers. I want to attract them to my yard this year with flowers. However, I live in Montgomery county where we have a "deer problem"-there are deer in the neighborhood who will eat anything in sight. Are there any hummer friendly flowers that deer won't eat? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Andy Rabin Gaithersburg, MD andyrab@wam.umd.edu
