Help with this please
Hi, this has shown up on several of my seedlings for fall planting. It was on one plant and today I have noticed it on several varieties now. Any clue what it could be, why it's happening, and how to stop it?

Leaf miners pick off all leaves that have them. It is the best way.

I didn't really want to spray these little guys just yet, however it seems they are getting attacked every time they are out hardening off. Thanks, unfortunately these seedlings are only a month and a half old, so very few leaves to pick off.

Thanks Worth, should I pull the leaves off at the base of the stem or snip them at the base of the leaf with sheers?

Just out from the base of the stem pinch or shear. your choice.
Then destroy the leaves. Worth |
