Is anyone else’s garden getting ravaged by spider mites?

I’ve had a successful very productive garden for several years here. Had my fair share of normal issues, but never spider mites. Now, after noticing a small area of webbing - removing it - spraying with neem. They have exploded and are on pretty much everything in my backyard. Then, separately across town, my girl is having issues now as well.

Is anyone else dealing with this or are we just 2 randomly very unlucky people?

Just bought some predatory mites online, seems like that’s the only thing that truly works for infestations. Fingers crossed it does.

Fig bandit goes down

Fruit trees have been getting wrecked by squirrels this year. The boys are handling the assignment well 😊

Is Dustin worth keeping at the deadline?

Minus his first 2 starts, through 11 games his era is now 2.6 and seems to be getting better every game. If he keeps this up 20mil isn’t a bad gamble to keep him around. Looking electric and dominant out there.

What’s up with six flags over Texas?

Went yesterday and had a great time overall. It was my first time in 20 years. A lot of fun nostalgia, we went all the time in the summers. Started off at the titan, got there early and my girl and I had first row seats pretty quick. Next we got in line for Texas Giant - this is where the issues start. We’re sitting in a relatively short line for what seems way too long. Then we realize no cars have left for a while and haven’t moved. This goes on for 30 minutes and now we read the ride is temporarily closed on the app. Waited another 30 minutes or so and finally got to ride (ride is way better now with steel tracks). Real hot waiting in line so we were frustrated, but figured it was a fluke. This proceeds to happen like clockwork 2 more times on different rides throughout the day (Mr freeze and the water splash ride close to the front) The second 2 times we gave up after waiting for quite a while. Also, the legend shockwave is closed.

While it could have just been random and bad luck, it felt more like poor management. Thinking back to all our times going in the past, I can remember maybe 2 or 3 times a ride going down. Is this the new normal at the park now?

Torres threw away Dustin’s no-no

That ball should have been caught. Took a bad line on it, undercut and jumped too early. They don’t bunt next ab either if he catches that. wtf man

Update on girlfriends balcony garden…

Things are going well! Starting to pluck off sungolds and harvesting beans daily. Water reservoir is really turning out to be a winner, super easy to saturate everything with good water. Cucumbers are starting to fill out the balcony, hopefully have a full green wall to help shade out the pots by next month
