Some folks are professionals who post gorgeous pictures of the outdoor living dreamscapes they've built. Other folks are DIYers who are revamping their outdoor living areas, building outdoor furniture, or planning an outdoor living room for the first time. Whether you're a novice or an expert, join a conversation about outdoor living rooms on Hometalk.

How to attract hummingbirds

I had such a wonderful response to an earlier question that I decided to ask another. What plants/bushes native to Florida's gulf coast will attract hummingbirds? Simply hanging feeders hasn't proven successful.

  • I added a metal dowel to the crosses to use as a stake.
  • The plantings are simple, creeping jenny, ponytail grasses, bacopa, and sweet potato vines.
  • My framed lobelia is hanging in the same tree.

  • My grandkids love our tire swing. It is hung from a large oak tree on a hill so they get lots of height.
  • Here is the hardware you need. 3 two inch U-bolts, 3 four and a half foot long pieces of chain and a quick connect.
  • Placement of the swing is very important. Make sure there is plenty of room for those big circle swings.
