I noticed many teeny white to whitish-green mites on the undersides of my sage, basil, catnip, and cilantro plants today. The plants are about a month old (from seed) so they are only about 1 inch and have only 1 or 2 sets of true leaves. Can I use Schulz Houseplant and Garden insect spray, or would that be too harsh? What are your experiences with mites on young plants?

I have an herb garden in my yard. It was newly planted this year so I am new at this. Can I harvest the herbs now before they freeze? If I do, Do I freeze them or do I dry them and freeze them or do I dry them and place them in a jar?
I have parsley, rosemary, thyme, mint, sage, basil, lavender etc.

Thank you so much!

I went apeshit at the garden store and bought 7 herbs now what do I cook with them? I have chives, parsley, rosemary, sage, cilantro, oregano, and basil. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I know that Lavender is used in France to keep the scorpians out, and that Fresh Sage and Bay leaves are good, but what other plants, shrubbery or flowers keep the bugs away? I’m in NE Ohio and don’t have a concern about the scorpians but it’s good to know. What would you suggest? Thank you very much!
