Spring and summer are fast approaching, so the UC Cooperative Extension Master Gardeners are getting ready for our information tables at the Farmers Markets in Vacaville, Benicia, Green Valley, and Vallejo. The Master Gardeners will be at these locations starting in May.
Here in Fairfield, if lieu of being at the Fairfield Farmers Market, we are setting up our information table in the garden section at Home Depot, 2121 Cadenasso Dr., Fairfield in April. The Farmers Markets will be starting sometime in May in the other cities where you can find the Master Gardeners information table.
Our starting date at Home Depot, Fairfield will be Saturday April 5, then you will be able to find us on the following Saturday dates at the Fairfield Home Depot:
April 5th , 19 -- May 3rd, 17th, 31st -- June 7th 21st -- July 5th, 19t August 2nd, 16th, 30 -- Sept 6th, 20th- ---Oct 4th, 18th.
We will be there from 10AM to 2PM. We are there to help answer your gardening questions such as “what are these spots on the leaves, or what is eating my plant”. Also “what is this plant?”
The best way for us to help you identify pest and disease, is to put a sample in a plastic bag and bring it to us on any of the above Saturdays.
That way it makes is much easier to detect the problem if we can see what is happening. If at the time we are unable to identify the problem, we will take your name and contact information and research it then get back to you with what we found and the best way to treat it.
You can also get in touch with us by calling 707-784-1322 (Master Gardener hotline) or mgsolano@ucanr.edu, which is our online helpline.
