The dwarf Audrey’s Love tomato is doing great. Half a dozen green fruits growing, very few spider mites, new shoots at the base. The dwarf Bendigo Dawn tomato was shriveling up, barely flowering (even after adding bone meal to both varieties), and infested with spider mites. We decided to remove the one doing poorly; we trimmed and caged the happy one so it has more support. We also spritzed it thoroughly with neem oil for the mites.
Where do you think you picked up the mites?
I think they sneak in after a day outside. Probably the earwigs too though they get inside sometimes anyways
Those look gorgeous. Great job. I think mites just materialize outta nowhere.
