I want to share some pictures and get some feedback.  I have been spraying with a weak soap solution.

| Investigate thrips. My outside plants got that really bad this year and I remember it being suggested it due to thrips. Never did find out for sure. I still got some tomatoes off the plant, but those plants sure were ugly. Please post back if you figure it out. |

| Thanks "chuck" for sharing the image. I couldn't figure out it. But still eager to know what is it. Thanks. |

| To avoid ‘thrips’, clean up the entire crop at the end of the season thoroughly. When removing plants, do not leave them within or near the greenhouse or the green space; as the surviving thrips may re-enter in your yield. Wash the greenhouse structure or grow space with a strong detergent with some hot water. |

| Get some NEEM oil! |
|
| Yes, you can also prefer ‘neem oil’. It’s organic and safe. My friend uses it on peppers and his summer & winter squash. You can also use insecticidal soap, which is non toxic. More people advise for using dish soap; but it’s not preferable. The soap you use should be real soap, with fatty acids in it. |
