Anybody else planted garlic or green onions with their tomatoes? I
planted garlic with and among my tomatoes last year, and I had the
most delicious tomatoes - no hint of any unpleasant garlicky flavor.
I have one source (a web site source) that says onions are not good
with tomatoes, but another source (might be Carrots Love Tomatoes book
or another garden book/mag article) says they go fine. Nowhere can
I find garlic as a bad companion plant for tomatoes...Matter of fact
I had garlic among my eggplant last year and didn't notice any
unpleasant flavor either - the eggplant was just as mild and buttery
as you could want..
Just my 2 cents.
