As of 4/24/09, the Shepherd's Hook is up!
The Hook holds a hummingbird feeder and a hanging basket of spitfire nasturtiums (which should trail over the edge of the railing). We set it up at night, and by the next early afternoon I caught a hummingbird sitting and slurping at the feeder. Our recipe is the same one you find everywhere online: 1 part white sugar to 4 parts water. I was considering adding some beetroot powder to the mix to help the birds find it, but obviously that is not needed!
Soon we'll get the grill out of storage and put it on the north end of the porch... it's so inviting now that we want to actually spend time out there!
