Damages the plants a wee bit too much--not to mention the tomato mess.

For whatever reason, that doesn't work. I've tried it to the point where I've bruised leaves. I'm sure part of the problem is the proliferation of lantana that people grow as shrubbery around here. No one bothers to spray them and they are big attractions for spider mites.

The water also isn't cold enough coming from the hose (which I have heard that cold water helps). I think they just sip the water and laugh...

I use neem oil and it works okay, but it isn't very strong so requires spraying about every 3 to 4 days to keep the population of spider mites down.

I've tried buying the bug that eats them too (escapes me at the moment...another kind of mite maybe.) They are just a bane!!!

An update on the garden.
Although it's difficult to see in this photo, yesterday I put some netting over the strawberry plants. There are no strawberries at present because the birds have been eating them as fast as they appear. Maybe now things will change. The bricks laying around I bought to hold the netting in place. It should be tidied up before Monday.

I've started a fence to keep the rabbits out. I put up some poles to hold the wire, and this weekend if all goes as planned I'll put in the metal end posts and wire.

If you look close you can see the owl on the far end keeping a vigilant outlook for rabbits!

If you enlarge the photo, you'll see little teeth marks on the owl's head.

I had my girl scouts make bat houses! it was a good project! I think I still have a couple in the lower pasture!

I had something "ungardening" quite a bit for me. I finally put netting around both of my little raised gardens and that has helped so far. it has been so cold here of late (lows in the high 30s at night) that everything seems to have gone slightly dormant. things are still growing, but not quite as robustly as before. a couple of the tomato plants have blossoms on them!

You still have a couple of girl scouts in the lower pasture? Let them go for pity's sake!

The birds poop on him, but it may fool the rabbits; they're kind of dumb. Anyway, the leaves on the peppers are growing back since Owl has been standing guard. I'm not sure if it's Owl or the pee in the corners that keeps them at bay (tip from KK).

Did the houses attract any bats?
