The clinic will take place at the Columbia Pacific Heri- tage Museum’s Discovery Garden, located behind the museum’s parking lot at 115 S.W. Lake St. Master gardeners will be there to address plant ques- tions and concerns. Bring samples if you can. At the clinic, master gar- dens will also sell native plants in 1-gallon and 2-gal- lon pots. There are ocean spray and serviceberry in limited quantities. Credit cards are accepted. At the last plant clinic, attendees challenged mas- ter gardeners with questions about their plants and gar- dening concerns. Here’s a sampling: • Problem: My rhododen- dron is suffering from root weevil, both adult and lar- vae. Suggestion: Use benefi- cial nematodes; use chem- ical control as a last resort. • Problem: My green pep- per plants in my greenhouse are sickly. What’s my prob- lem? Summer Plant Clinic 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 22 Discovery Garden Submitted photo Master gardeners will have native service- berries for sale at the summer plant clinic. Suggestion: The prob- lem is aphids. Sometimes, a strong blast of water from the hose will knock aphids off of the plant and solve the prob- lem. Spraying with insecti- cide soap will also eliminate Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum 115 S.W.

Suggestions: Your plant has rust, which is a fungal disease. Pick and destroy infected leaves to prevent spread of disease. Prune to increase air circulation. WSU Extension also sup- ports two websites that can help you diagnose your own plant problems.
