What are the most frequently asked questions this year at the Maryland Extension’s Home & Garden Information Center? Our lead horticulturist Debra Ricigliano revealed some of the hottest topics during her chat with Washington Gardener Magazine editor Kathy Jentz for her recent GardenDC podcast. These included dogwood and oak tree problems, periodical cicadas, fall armyworms, and much more! Plus, Debbie provided a brief history of the agricultural land-grant universities, Cooperative Extension, and how we continue to serve the public with resources such as Ask Extension.
