Under the Solano Sun
Seasonal observations by UC Master Gardeners of Solano County
I have had a Joseph's Coat climbing rose at my house for over 25 years. Last year it began looking worn out as if it were on its last legs. I cut the trunk back almost to the ground and held my breath.
Summer is here and your flowers, vegetables, and weeds are really taking off. It is also the hottest time of year and you may wish to work outside after the sunsets. Now you've got to contend with blood-thirsty summer mosquitos.
There is a children's book titled Water Bugs and Dragonflies, published in 1982 by Doris Stickney. The purpose of this book is to help young children cope with the death of a loved one. The characters in the book are fun-loving water bugs and dragonflies.
