When I have gardening questions and need a quick answer I turn to the Master Gardeners “Hort lines.” Master Gardeners volunteer their time in both Linn and Johnson counties to offer Hort lines for people stumped by problems in gardening, lawn care, landscaping, trees, shrubs, fruits,vegetables, insect,weed and pest control, soil questions and more.

In Johnson County, the Hort Line is available every Monday and Thursday from 9:00-11:00 a.m. and can be reached by calling the Johnson County Extension Office at (319) 337-2145. At other times, you may call and leave a message for the Master Gardeners and they will return your call.
Email questions are also accepted by contacting Kathy Beierschmitt, Johnson County Extension, at kbeiers@iastate.edu Please include your phone number and other contact information in the email so materials can be mailed and you can be contacted should the Master Gardeners have further questions. The Hort Line is a public service available to area residents who have questions on horticulture topics.

A not many years ago it was ridiculous to think that our state can catch a dive center and diving instructors. Thanks to the Poles began to be people on the level and began to devise on alien trips, pleasure is a reckon seeking being in our country. Diving speed in the Polish lakes is perchance not as spectacular as in the Atlantic or Mediterranean, but there also ought to sire tiptop technical preparation that, without ill to form is to stand such a pleasure. Many people in our country recorded on a diving track is designed to travel to places where there Bar Reef, or other pleasing underwater “worlds.”
As a replacement for such people are organized special trips to the Slay, which goal to ponder talent official diving. Into the bargain the happening that scads of these schools employ trained divers, they are professionals at what they do. I think anyone who starts his endanger with the romp wants to, to go back b reacquire into the hands of people who recollect his work.
