Natasha Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 Leaf miner. White maggots of a small fly that grow and feed inside the leaves. Remove infected leaves immediately and put in garbage to try and break cycle. Keep soil at base of plant free of all debris. If you can't get under control, may have to apply Malathion.

Kyle Posted June 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 Yes it is leaf miner. I picked off the infected leaves and sprayed with a mixture of vegetable oil, dish soap and water as per Mr. Google Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to use it on my plants for aphid control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tingting Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 Thanks for that! I'm going to try it on some of my plants. I hate using chemicals for things I'll eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
