Under the Solano Sun
Seasonal observations by UC Master Gardeners of Solano County
Ever since I was a little girl seeing hydrangeas growing in front of my aunt's house in Michigan, I have loved them. Even before I knew what they were called, I have loved them.
Leaffooted bugs have a narrow brown body with a length of .75 to 1 inch long. They feed on fruits, fruiting vegetables, ornamentals and nuts. They have piercing-sucking mouth parts that help them feed on plant parts and particularly seeds.
This is in response to a query that came into the Help Desk from an HOA member a few weeks ago. She was calling to find out if the Master Gardeners could/would recommend a landscape contractor to redo the landscape of her Association.
Our neighboring tree is a wonderful old Oak that majestically towers over our homes, seeming to watch over us and keep us immersed in delightful nature.
