Planted a Butterfly Bush 5-14-10 Going to Track it's Progress

In hopes of attracting butterflies this summer, we planted a butterfly bush. I plan to also buy some milkweed and plant mint and dill near the bush since they are reputed to attract butterflies. I'm also hoping that we can attract goldfinch with a finch food feeder. So far nothing. It would be awesome if hummingbirds would find our yard but, I'm not getting my hopes up for that. It's going to take a while for there to be enough flowers to attract anything. (Finch feeder was a bust. The squirrels ate the seeds. Gave up on hopes of attracting finches. 6/9/10)
