I got this 3 way mitacide/fungaside and insecticide that is a Safer product ok for edibles.Only it was morning and the sun might have got to them a little soon. Or maybe the stregnth was too much.If they r fried,leaves crispy is there something to rectify this disaster?The crickets,mites and other things seem especially active this year.Hmm.Just trying to keep them from getting in because they have just begun to flower.Soon it will only be soapy hot oil water and me,lol.Help have I blown it totally???

That must have been a neem or other oil product.
Soapy hot oil water? Noo!!1!! No added heat, and you already have an oil problem.
The dead leaves won't recover but with luck you may grow new ones if the plant is not totally dead.
Pyrethrin-based insecticides don't do that.
Next time around, apply your neem oil only VERY lightly. A few light applications will build up a protective film on the leaf surface.
