The whiteflies won! :(

So this is my first year with a vegetable garden, and we set it up the only place where we get enough sun. Unfortunately, it's right near a fence covered in morning glory (which has probably growing since the house was built in the late 80s). And the morning glory is completely infested with whitefly.

As a result, my tomatoes are on their way out now, also completely infested despite regular spraying with water and last ditch attempts at rescue with TakeDown spray and Neem oil.

So I think we'll just hold out this summer for the remainder of the tomatoes to ripen, then we'll rip everything out and start again.

For next year, what are some pointers to keep the whitefly at bay? How on earth does anyone prevent whitefly infestation? Because at this point to me it seems impossible!
