We have problems with spider mites on tomatoes around here as well, so I'm spraying with a liquid seaweed/molasses mix (1 tbsp each to a gallon of water).

I don't have the problem with a dog right now, and the feral catz are going away quickly. We started baiting the live traps with catnip, now that I've got enough to bait with.

I'm going to get the beneficial nematodes to kill the grub worms, I think. I just want things a little warmer before I put some of those beneficials out.

I have a little bit of spider mites stuff, a fungicide/insecticide and of course sevin dust but no BT so putting that on the list. Maybe use the non-organic sevin dust now and then the organic when I get to town. I just don’t go to town that often. It looks like a couple of the bare stem tomatoes are putting out tiny little new leaves so crossing fingers. Bell peppers are goners though.
