     Hanging flower baskets with fuschia would be good if high enough to be 
     out of reach for the 'dear' deer. You could also try window planters 
     on second level with scarlet sage or fuschia.

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,
