Plant of the Month:
Hydrangea
No other woody plant says summer is here quite like Hydrangea. These shrubs show off large long lasting blooms when most other shrubs are done blooming for the year. Ideal in sunny or shady locations, Hydrangeas come in a wide array of varieties and colors, with more being introduced each year. Typical size is 4-6 feet high and wide, though there are dwarf selections available. Some varieties are soil pH dependent, in that pink blooms can be ‘fooled’ by treating a high pH soil (lime soil) to make it more low pH (acid). The Endless Summer series of Hydrangeas is a good example. Read up on this class of plants and then come in and pick your favorite from Oakland's vast selection.

Keeping Water Clear in Ponds, Bird Baths and Fountains
With the rise in average temperatures, maintaining water clarity in water features is a challenge. Algae, dirt and debris can accumulate and foul pumps, aerators and stain fountains. Here are a few tips to help.
Bird Baths: Avoid chemicals that reduce algae build up. Birds need a predictable source of clean water in a bowl that is cleaned and replenished at least every other day. To maintain a bird bath, empty of water, scrub with a nylon brush and plain water, then refill with clean water.
Fountains: Algae can be held in check with products such as Algae Fix, bleach or other algae control chemical. Regular scrubbing will limit algae build up and staining from hard water. When you clean the fountain, check and clean off hose fittings, pump intakes and outlets.
Ponds: Add water as needed to keep levels up. Regularly check pumps, aerators and filters to avoid these devises from fouling. Always take the time to skim debris off pond and remove dead water plants. Ponds can really get choked with debris after a summer rainstorm. Read up on maintaining healthy pond water. Healthy pond water is especially important if you have fish in there. Some algae is normal and desirable in ponds. Excess algae or clouding of water may call for a treatment with barley extract or algaecide.
