There is something in my bed-flowerbed, that is. Creepy, crawling, slimy things. Flying, crawling all over the place. What am I to do? Who should I call?
My fruit tree has broken limbs and yellow leaves. My oak trees have curly leaves, and my pine trees have beetles in them, and my car has died. What should I do?
I don't know about your car, but for all the other questions about your flowers, garden, lawn, and trees, there is an answer-a group of people called Master Gardeners. These people have had many hours of instruction from some of the best instructors in the state, and they have performed many hours of voluntary work in gardens around Smith County.
The Master Gardeners are volunteers for the county extension horticulturist, so they have access to all the information available, including access to the finest instructions in the state of Texas. And this is all free to you with just a telephone call.
The Master Gardeners are not ghostbusters, but they are your answer for most vegetable and flower gardens, fruit, nut, and shade tree, and turf maladies. Give these people a chance to help you with your problems.
