When I was chatting with a few fellow gardeners at the recent plant exchange, the conversation turned to plants we wished we hadn't planted because they turned out to be too invasive for our gardens.
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.
