Whats on my organic Rosemary bush?

white globs of something inbtwn the leaves, not the entire plant but enough to get your attention. I hit it with the water hose and it fell off, but not right away. I live in the desert if thats a clue. I saw a mouse like thing too, I did not know that mice or what ever it was could scale a wall . it ran btwn a crack eeeew! maybe it was after someting else in my garden.

Sounds like whiteflies, if they're fuzzy. If it looks like spit, then it's what we call "spittlebugs". (Google Images should show you pics of both.) Either of them can cause great damage to your plant, and will keep returning if you only hit them with water. I suggest a spray made with water and garlic (gallon of water, one whole garlic bulb; boil, strain, pour into spray bottle); spray the plant liberally every day, and you should see some improvement.





BTW, the mouse-like thing sounds like it may be a vole of some sort. Any rodents, however, can ruin a garden, so be careful.

Reply:I don't know what they're called. They may be some kind of psyllid. But, they form a kind of fuzzy shell and cling to plants. The shell also protects them from insecticides. Spray them off with a high-pressure spray (not enough to harm the plant) to knock them off and then spray the plant with a general insecticide. If you want to stay organic, use a very diluted solution of dishwashing soap and water (a tablespoon per gallon or so). If they come back, do it again.
Reply:They are some kind of spider or bug. But I don't know the name of them. I have them too. I live in CA Central Valley where it gets really hot too.
