Ask Extension Submission Form

Ask a question about agriculture, gardening (horticulture), food safety, natural resources, and more. For topics outside of home gardening and insect identification, we may share contact information with you for a University of Maryland Extension field Agent that you can reach out to (outside of the Ask Extension platform).

We answer questions from Maryland residents. If you live in another state or D.C., please use the Extension Foundation form to select your location, or contact your local university cooperative extension.

Read our important tips for submitting plant and insect photos.

Attach an image file in JPG, PNG, or GIF format. (Videos and HEIC format images are usually not be viewable.) Please use photo files at least 1MB in size (per image) so we can see enough detail.
