What are these white specks (bugs??) on my young tomato plant?
There are also specks in the dirt! I have two tomato plants from the same source and the other does not have these. Please help!!

This is a severe aphid infestation. The good news is you can still fix it. Blast your plants with a hose. Because they’re in a pot, I’d take it one step further and turn your plant sideways, then blast off the aphids so they fall into the grass rather than into the pot. That way they won’t just crawl back up. Check again 12 hours later. Blast again. If they’re back, blast with water, then spray with neem (after the sun has set and the sun is no longer on your plant).
