Experience I have been growing herbs organically for 27 years. I have also written and self-published, loose leaf binder, "Herbmans Journal". 2008 is my last year at Smile Herb Shop. I plan to grow herbs in my small back yard and sell at David's Natural Store in Columbia, Md. on saturdays. I also will return to the Baltimore Herb Festival in May 2009(memorial day weekend).I used the word organically grown, but the state came into the picture and stated that I could not use the word unless I become certified & paid a $300.00 fee. I decided to add to my name (99% chemical-free) since nothing on this planet is 100%, except Jesus Christ, taxes & death. My customers were satisfied with this instead of paying a large fee and raising my prices,with no guarantee that it is organic except for a label.Their belief was in my word.
Question I have a mint plant and have just noticed white mushy balls growing the entire length of the stem. They aren't so much on the leaves as they are on the stem, and they seem to be overtaking this poor plant. It is close to some of my other plants indoors for winter that have not been affected. Any advice on what it is? Thanks
Answer Amber:
Mint must be placed outdoors to return next year. Indoor growing is not good for mint.Go to web site"gardensalive.com" for organic solution for the plants. It is a fungus and can be remove. Meanwhile,prune 1/3 of all the infected branches. You can add 1 teasp. hot sauce to 1 qt. of water & spray once a week until gone.Check plant after each application for burned leaves & dilute a little if so.
