Got problems with your plants? San Juan County Master Gardeners can help.

The Master Gardeners “plant-problem diagnostic clinic” meets twice each month, April through September, first and third Thursdays, at the Farmers Market on Orcas and San Juan islands, and at Sunset Builders Supply on Lopez.

Ideal candidates are plants with poor vigor, signs of disease or insect damage; plants and insects of concern or interest can be identified at the clinic as well.

Submit a problem plant by collecting samples as close as possible to a clinic date; include leaves, stems, flowers and fruit if possible. Place them in a sealed plastic bag along with a slightly damp paper towel.

Submission forms are available at the WSU Extension website and at any Master Gardener booth.

If your plant problem is extensive, call the WSU Extension office to set up a site visit, 370-7663.
