What are you using for the spider mites?
I think I'm going to empty a storage tote and dunk the strawberry tier of my tower in it for a few hours or overnight to drown the mites. I've had success with drowning them in the past on some mint. I've had no luck with any spray I've concocted.
I usually dunk them or spray them with some Dawn dish soap or Hartz Flea and Tick shampoo for dogs added to the water. The soap helps to cover them better and suffocate them faster.

Bigger update soon, when I'm not supposed to be asleep. For now, here's today's Black Nebula carrot harvest (+1 small golden beet and one long imperator from old seed):

Also, the mystery tomato plant I got for free at the farmer's market has started to set fruit. Any guesses as to what it may be? Here's the variety list from the nursery booth: Cherokee Purple, Big Beef, Black Cherry, Juliet, Roma, Clementine, Tidy Treats, Tiny Tim, Stupice, Jaune Flamme, Japenese Black Trifele, Sunrise Sauce

My guess is Roma or Sunrise Sauce F1. Juliet F1 is thinner. It looks too long to be Clementine F1. It's not round, oblate, beefsteak, or pear-shaped; so, we can probably eliminate the other possibilities.

And even Roma has a "Peanut" like shape to it. It's not as smooth as those. So, it's even more likely to be Sunrise Sauce F1.

If that shape stays, it doesn't get much bigger, and it turns red, it's Juliet.[mention]Cultivator[/mention]

And if it's sweet, you can be pretty sure it's Juliet F1, too. Roma isn't particularly sweet. Juliet F1 tastes amazing (IMO; not everyone agrees).

Thanks everyone! No blushing yet, but here's some glimpses from the rest of the garden.

Still waiting on those mystery tomatoes to blush! While we wait, here's some views of twilight in my garden. We've had about a week of heavy rain, and everything is draining well and loving it (super important in a container garden).

Everything looks great, healthy, and I love the close ups. I never thought a cucumber could look so beautiful.

I'm constantly wooed by and waxing poetic about the garden! Even something as humble as a cucumber blossom. 🥰

Okay, one of the mystery tomatoes is finally starting to blush! What do we think she is? Juliet? Roma?

If it turns red, I'm going to guess Juliet F1, now, even though I think the shape is more like Roma. My reason is because of the stems and joints. Roma's stems look different. Both tomatoes can have fruit the same size, potentially. I see pictures of Juliet that are bigger than Roma tomatoes I've grown.

Well, a bird helped itself to my ripe mystery tomato. 🤬
