Ask your gardening questions online
How soon in spring can you plant peas? What are good shade trees to grow in Ohio? What’s this weird weed in your lawn?
Get science-based answers to your gardening questions using CFAES’s “Ask a Master Gardener” website. Simply type in your question, attach a related photo if you have one, say which county you live in, and get an answer by email.
The free service is provided by Master Gardener volunteers, plant experts trained by CFAES’s Ohio State University Extension outreach arm.
If you teach a person about fish
