Hi everyone! I've just moved back to AZ and I've started a backyard garden. I've recently noticed that I have a leaf miner problem in my tomato leaves and basil leaves!

I've done lots of reading online, but would appreciate a local's opinion on how to best tackle these pesky little buggers!

I've already removed the affected leaves, and will continue to do so. Is my basil safe to use? Do I need to be concerned with the potential of eggs being on the leaves? If so, is washing enough to get rid of the eggs before I use it?

Anyone who can help with their own experiences would be very much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
