So we have had horn worms on the tomato plants and now this morning I found these on the tomatoes . . .
Do you see all the gnats or maybe they are fruit flies. I don't know but I do know they need to COME OFF!
Thanks to the advice from several friends, I ended up mixing 1 part Dawn dish detergent to 5 parts water and sprayed the heck out of the tomatoes and the plant. Then I sprayed all the plants (peppers, zucchini, squash and all the other tomato plants). By the time I was done spraying everything, I went back to these tomatoes and the "things" were still there but dead. Thank goodness!
*UPDATE: I went outside to check the garden this morning and noticed that the stems and leaves that these bugs were on are wilting now. I clipped them all off and got rid of these tomatoes. Hope those nasty things don't come back!
