I have two cherry tomato plants. Just yesterday I started to notice a white rimming at the tips and sides of the leaves. Upon closer inspection, the white is sort of powdery and there seems to be very tiny dots of black that almost appear to be eggs of some kind. I live in Northern California (if that helps any.) I was wondering what could I use to rid myself of these bugs without harming the produce or the plant. Thank you!

I would get and insecticide soap, there is a brand called SAFE that makes one that is not harmful for fruit/veggies that you intend to eat. If the white areas are not adjacent to the dots, it may also be fungal, which there is a spray for as well.

Try 1 tbsp of the old fashion dish soap or baby shampoo in a gal of water, use as a spray
