Holli, what you have is 'spittle bug.'  I don't knpw the technical 
details about this critter, but I am too familiar with it.  Inside the
foamy stuff will be a small bug.  In addition to the unpleasant
stuff, it causes brown patches on the foliage, so I suspect it
is some kind of sucking bug.  I spray it with a hose, too, or
prune the affected parts into a bag for garbage disposal.  I'm
sure others will be able to give you more learned information
and advice, but you have my sympathy.

Now I am no genius when it comes to plants and pests, but I do know I was  
not doing laundry outside.. so I suspect a pest of sorts.  Anyone know what  
I 
am dealing with?  I did hose off what I could yesterday, but we still  have 
some infected.

Thanks all
