A Gardeners Forum Forums Gardening Reference Gardening in 2006 My Hummer's are gone!!

mine are gone too as of sat. i have dreaded this for weeks but now i guess i will focus on the other birds. winter is just round the corner and they need me now!

gee, sorry guys, i seem to have posted to the prior page about hummers. now i really feel lost.

My Hummers left about a week or two ago also, Wendy. I thought you were in Jackson Colorado, But I see you are in Jackson County Tennessee. I am in Hermitage, Tennessee and live one mile east of Andrew Jackson's mansion, The Hermitage. We have at least three other Tennesseeans here that I know of, two in Dyersburg, and one in Knoxville. AFGREYPARROT, Cindy, is nearby in Kentucky.

yes, it really is a small world! i was born and raised in madison. my parents bought a log cabin out here about 4 years ago, and we followed about 2 and half years ago. you are in my old stomping grounds! after being in the country now, i dont miss anything of there, is that bad?

Igraduated Madison High School in 1970.

oh my goodness! i hated madison high! so, did you go to amqui elem. as well? all of my family as well as me attended both those, however, my son went to goodlettsville elem. and dupont hadley, then graduated out here. we lived off of anderson lane right behind peterbilt. you missed graduating with my mom and dad, but maybe my aunt, then, lydia hedge. maybe she sounds familiar? that's so wierd that i found a "neighbor" on line.

I remember Lydias name. I went to elementary school in Johnson City and Chattanooga, TN and moved to Madison when I started Junior High. I lived on Old Hickory Blvd., locally called Halls Lane, about two blocks west of Madison High.

yeah, that was her maiden name, she is still in madison and comes out to visit occasionally. i lived there all my life and did'nt know it was called that! i do remember when they widened OHBlvd., and kroger used to be a grocery store called giant food. does it matter that we are talking out of subject on this site? gonna go check out other rooms here.

This is such a good thread I just had to add my two HB cents

The last day I saw my HB was on October 26, and it now seems like months ago. Winters are hard here for Hummer-addicts.

Jimmy, look for your hummers to return around the end of April or first of May. I am in Tennessee, and ours return around the first to middle of April, although I didn't get one in my yard until the middle of July this year; and soon ended up with FOUR! They left around the middle of September. I planted RED Cannas this year and I think that is what brought them in.

I'm gonna try the cannas next year. They're one of the few tropicals we can buy here.
