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.

Herbs - White blobs on Rosemary bush


Expert: Leroy J. Wilton - 3/12/2009

Question
Hello,
It looks like someone took a shotgun full of marshmallow cream and shot it all over my rosemary bush.  The blobs are larger than pea-size and are gooey.  Do you know what it is?  Thanks for your help!

Answer
Teresa:
I believe it comes from the spittle bug. I don't remember what recipe that I used for this, but try 1 teasp. rubbing alcohol & 1 teasp. hot sauce to a qt. of water in a spray bottle. Apply every 3rd. day until it disappears. Spray under the leaves also. If it looks like its too strong after the 1st application, dilute by 1/3 water & try again. If you don't want to use this, go to www.gardensalive.com. They have all organic pesticides.
