This is one of the best websites around - look at the plant the insect feeds on, then you can click the link for a fact sheet and/or see the picture of the insect and its damage. Go Maine!

Ask the Master Gardeners

Plant problems? Want to know what to grow where? Are your maples moping, lilacs lethargic? Maybe you need to know how to prune hydrangeas or harvest leeks.
If you're a Putnam County resident, ask our Master Gardener volunteers, an experienced crew educated in horticulture, plant pathology, entomology and pest management. They'll show you how to select organic and least-toxic products and more to help you create a beautiful, environmentally-friendly garden. Click the "Ask the Master Gardeners" link and leave a question.

(Please post only once. Questions will not be immediately visible - they are reviewed before they appear on the blog.)
