When checking on my seedlings this morning, I noticed a few that looked like the leaves had been eaten. Looking closer, I saw little red dots on the underside of leaves. I think these are red spider mites. The first pic is of a ground cherry, and the 2nd is an orange bell pepper. I'm sure there are mites on some of the other seedlings.
Since I don't want to spray these tiny seedlings with water, I guess I'll use some safer soap spray on them. Any other ideas - preferably organic?
PS: I didn't realize the pics were so fuzzy. Hope you can make them out.
