Spider mites destroyed my cherries and almost killed the pineapple and green zebra that I suspect is not green zebra. I got 2 pineapple and 1 cat-faced green zebra that’s pretty red. Pineapples were sweet and a little tart but the green zebra is tart and savory.

I think I got past the worst of the mites with a deluge of rain and religious neem oil application… another round of predatory mites coming. Next year, def using them as a prevention method. I also lost most of my green zebras to BER which I think watering 2x a day is helping during the hottest days. I see another round coming and healthy growth that’s now way over 6ft. 😮‍💨

This sub has been so helpful and I learned so much! I’m definitely doing this next year with -fun- seeds coming instead of random ones I picked up from the store. Thank you to you all!

    Are you getting your predatory mites from Natures Good Guys? I ordered ladybugs from this them year and they’ve worked wonders, but I definitely considered the mites. Im assuming since you’re ordering them again, you were happy with the results?
