I found my first ones just last week in my greenhouse and also outside on my hardening off table which had the few seedlings I had grafted for fall tomatoes. I also found one plant in my garden that had them and pulled it since it wasn't doing much anymore and only had two small greenies on it. I sprayed all my tomato plants for spider mites a couple of days ago and they already look much better so there must have been some mites starting on a lot of the plants although the damage and obvious symptoms had not shown up yet.
Good luck with your growing in Columbus you should do fine.

Hi Bill,
Are you in Dothan? We've been going to Eufala area on weekends boating on the river from Florence Marina and Lake Pointe Marina.
Thanks for the pointers. What do you use for spider mites?
