Yes, I had a response from Sid and he thought it might be a fungus so I started searching and found that it was dodder. We had been hauling in lots and lots of horse manure and I understand that if an animal eats alfalfa infested with dodder that it can then spread through the manure. This was so interesting to me as I had never seen or heard of such a thing. I haven't seen anymore which seems unusual because our whole garden was covered in manure. Maybe we got lucky although I'm out there everyday checking for it. Thanks so much for your response and also thank-you Sid!
