RE: Raised Bed Saga Continues - IAAC - Day 5

Question - since you have green fingers and you know so much about gardening
I have these white insects sitting behind the leaves of my beans and tomatoes - boooo
I have seen this happen before and they eventually kill my plants
And it looks like it might be happening again after looking like it was going to fruit
What would you suggest I do to shoo these fellas away

Sort:  

Since i can't see them - it either could be mildew or maybe some little bugs. buts, you can spray away with water or a soapy solution - just a little bit of dish soap in a spray bottle and wash them off.
Mildew - I don't know if you get that in a tropical climate -but let me sent you a link. https://www.thespruce.com/powdery-mildew-1402500
If it is mildew, please use the non-poisonous ways to treat them :)

I have hosed them down with water - with a vengeance too, they fly off and then come back. This is what they look like... The Hubs says they are called White Flies
