RE: Tomato Variety and problem (was RE: Planting time)

Good info.  I plan on planting basil between the toms, and marigolds here
and there.  I will keep the spray in mind for those nasty bugs.  By the way,
has anyone grown a basil called "monstrioso". I did under lights this winter
and the leaves were huge!  A bit tougher than regular basil, but big enough
to stuff with meat? cheese? I shouldn't start planning the harvest before I
start the seeds....

hi beth,

i hate to sound like a broken record since i have said this so many
times before but ever since i started planting a basil plant or an
oregano plant between each tomato plant i have never had an insect pest
problem.  i also make a strong "tea" of basil, garlic, a dash of dish
soap and water and spray it on the leaves of the tomatoes.  i have
convinced my landlady to do the same(our gardens are connected) and she
was strictly a chemical pesticide gardener.  try it yourself.

sincerely,
