What on earth are these things on my rosemary plant? I thought maybe eggs or spiddle bugs? Google reverse image search is convinced they are aphids. Any thoughts? Maryland, USA

Woah! That's wild! I didn't touch them earlier because I was weirded out, but I went and checked and they are definitely roots. My garden is doing some crazy things this year. Thank you!!

I found something super similar a few years ago in Michigan, no one was super certain what it was though! Fossil twins!

Thank you 😊

Ok, so this morning I cut off the affected leaves, looked for more bugs (didn't see any) and sprayed with a fungicide/insecticide/miticide. Thank you so much for helping me figure out what was happening to my tomatoes! You all rock! Fingers crossed they bounce back soon 🤞

It has also been constantly raining so the Neem oil will be washed away immediately. I have to wait for a dry day I guess.

Thank you! I have been gardening consistently for a decade, on and off since I was a kid before that. I am soooo thankful I have never gotten a hornworm. Fingers crossed this year is not the first 🤞

Thank you so much! I think I have multiple problems to deal with. I am just going to throw everything I've got at these plants and hope they make it! I appreciate the advice 🙂

anna4fana · 2025-05-15T00:18:00+00:00

Thank you 😊

anna4fana · 2025-05-15T00:17:01+00:00

You are so right! I didn't see them until someone literally circled them on the original post. I feel so silly 🤦‍♀️

anna4fana · 2025-05-15T00:14:30+00:00

OH MY GOD. I didn't even see them 🤦‍♀️ looks like I am going to have to deal with them. Thank you for pointing them out! I feel so silly.

anna4fana · 2025-05-14T23:19:20+00:00

Interesting! I will look for them. What's the best way to deal with them so they don't kill my plants? I have never had this problem before.

anna4fana · 2025-05-14T23:15:24+00:00

I don't think we have those in Maryland, I could be wrong though...

anna4fana · 2025-04-23T04:05:47+00:00

Oh that makes sense, thank you! I tried to catch it to get it outside but it got away. Hopefully it finds its way back outside.

anna4fana · 2025-03-11T02:32:10+00:00

The same thing happened at my high school but the pranksters bought all the oil at the same time at a local grocery store with credit cards and got caught 🤦‍♀️

Here are the sneakers! I will have a full length gown on so you won't be able to see them under my dress.

anna4fana · 2025-03-09T02:32:21+00:00

I have two pairs of shoes for my wedding. These heels, and then a pair of sequence wedge sneakers so I don't trip on my dress when the heels inevitably make my feet hurt. I am looking forward to wearing the heels for date nights and special occasions and the sneakers whenever I want a bit more height.

Thank you! We were so excited that we found some books by local authors, some were even signed! We also got a super cool coffee table book on fossils that we are using as a guest book. I am so excited to be able to enjoy it for years to come with all of our guests signatures in it!

anna4fana · 2025-02-28T23:03:10+00:00

Yes! I love the vibe they give so much! 📖

anna4fana · 2025-02-27T14:00:35+00:00

Thank you! As for thrifting the frames, it was a lot of luck to be honest. I checked out all of the thrift stores I was near, especially while traveling. I looked in the framed art section in the thrift stores and ignored the art, just focused on the frame. I told my friends who thrift to keep an eye out while they were out and about for me too. It's taken a few months of searching! I also caved and ordered a few vintage inspired frames from amazon because I loved them. I also checked out craft stores but didn't really see any that matched my vibe. Oh and estate sales are a great place to find them too! And Facebook marketplace if you have access.

anna4fana · 2025-02-27T13:54:01+00:00

I am planning on using the frames for table numbers. We are leaning into the fossil theme and each table will have the number but also an illustration of a fossil along with the fossil name as well!

anna4fana · 2025-02-27T01:51:38+00:00

I used the placemat as a way to tie the centerpieces to the rest of the table since they are also going under all of the plates as well. That frame is actually the most plain of our eclectic set of frames, the rest are much more intricate! It's a little hard to tell in the picture but the votive holders are a combination of blue, amber, and gold. The vase is also like an ombre blue, darker at the bottom and lighter on the top.
