This savvy gardener shows a photo she took on her iphone of a mysterious plant growing at her home that she hopes can be identified.

• Yikes, everything is so dry; what is the best way to water?
• How can I stop the robins from eating all my blueberries?
• I'm noticing a whitish dusty residue on the leaves of several different plants. What is it and what can I do about it?
• There was a small rat sitting on a branch in my raspberry bush; I hate rats!! How can I get rid of them?

The WSU Extension Master Gardeners of King County staff weekly clinics all over King County from April through November (dates vary by location) to answer questions just like these that were asked at last week's clinics.

Master Gardeners are folks who have gone through an intensive training and internship and share their passion for gardening by addressing your landscaping and gardening challenges. This service is free!! If you have a plant problem you would like diagnosed, bring a photo or better yet, a sample.
