In case you're not aware of it: the Master Gardeners statewide staff helplines to answer questions about home lawns and gardens. If we don't know the answer off hand, we'll research it and call you back. If we can't find the answer, we'll pass it on to the Extension Agent. In Gadsden, we keep ours going from April through September and gardeners can bring samples of insect or plant problems by the office if they want to. We even have a fancy microscope for up close and personal views of the creepy-crawlies. You can call 1-877-252-GROW(4769)and listen to the menu to select the area where you live.
