Foam on plants?

wexie · 2013-07-02 08:19:40

Hi everybody, I was just out watering the plants, bit of a chore but as long as the weather lasts I'll gladly do it every evening (glass of wine in hand :D).

Hi everybody,

I was just out watering the plants, bit of a chore but as long as the weather lasts I'll gladly do it every evening (glass of wine in hand ).

Anyways, I noticed a lot of plants have some form of foam on them, which I believe to be some kind of eggs, or protection for eggs of crickets? I've seen it in previous years and that's the best I can make of it.

My questions are :

1) is it harmful to the plants? (I've been rinsing it off for the moment)
2) what puts it there / lays it? Presumably there are currently no crickets around? At least I haven't seen any?

Hope someone knows, I'm quite curious.

thanks!!
