Fall Gold Raspberries...beyond delicious
Speaking of which, I was talking to my brother Steven tonight. Steven has been gardening for a long time. Unfortunately he lost most of his garden this year to a wicked 45 minute Alberta hail storm that dumped about four inches a large stones on everything. Apparently there was some cursing going on. I digress. Steven was telling me about losing some raspberry plants. It sounded like exactly the same thing that killed mine. He said simply "spider mites, use a soap solution". So I may just do that in the next few days as a preemptive strike. I am wondering if all those little bugs on my dill, that I thought were small aphids, could be spider mites? I'll try to get a close up picture.

Spider mites are normally a bright red colour, Erin. That might help you to identify them. They thrive in hot dry conditions, so you shouldn't have a problem with them just now!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Mark. I know what to look for now!!
DeleteI can't get rid of spider mites on my gerbera daisy! I've sprayed them with water mixed with a very minute amount of white school glue and also tried a couple of organic labeled sprays that were supposed to be for spider mites....Any assistance with remedies would be wonderful!!! I've kept this plant going for nearly 4 years and for this last year, it's really suffered.
