Hi
My first gardening attempt starting of with heirloom tomatoes. +/- 2 and a half months from seed. 6 Varieties. Tomato 1 - Purple Russian Tomato 2 - Black Cephus Tomato 3 - Black Seaman Tomato 4 - Eva Purple Ball Tomato 5 - Brandywine Sudduth's Tomato 6 - Brandywine Yellow Had some red spider. Used organic garlic and canola oil spray. Planted 2 plants of each. Tomato 1, 2 & 6 - one plant of each was dying and I took it out. Will post more when ripe. |

Nice looking green tomatoes. Looking at the name of the files. Is Tamatie a local term for tomatoes?

They're off to a great start! Hope your spray took care of the spider problem for you.

Hi
Thanx Marsha. Doug - Yes, when I saved the files I used Afrikaans, my native language, one of 11 official laguages in SA. Kath, the spray worked, thanx. Manie |

Manie,
I have used the same spray against red spider mite with very good results. I innitially bought a 200ml bottel insect spray (organic) and it worked. When I mentioned it one day to a seed company rep he told me the sell the same thing under another name, but a liter for the same price. It just stinks, but work like a charm. I have now changed to raised beds and everything performs so much better and stays damp. So I guess the red spider mite will never pitch up again.
