Is it my imagination or are the Dwarfs white fly magnets?
I can't believe how consistently the dwarf tomatoes with their rugose foliage are havens for white flies for me. It is not just in my garden here at home. Today I went to the roof top garden I am growing and found the same thing. Shake the plants a little, and there is cloud of white flies buzzing around. They have lots of other choice, but they all seem to congregate on the dwarfs.
Has anyone else noticed this phenomenon? |

Yep! A couple were particularly bad. They aren't on any of my others, either.

I'm going to check that out. I've been spraying on a regular basis.
