Just found this site--looks great!! [Wink] Can't wait to look through all the topics, so much info.

I am in the planning stages of creating a butterfly/hummingbird garden in my back yard. Is there anyone who has any tips or ideas for me?? I live in zone 5-6 depending on the map you look at. I'm just a basic gardener so I'm looking for easy plants that pretty much take care of themselves (less chance of me killing them!! [Roll Eyes] )

Happy Gardening---K
