Noticed yesterday that my tomato plants have what I believe to be red spider mites. I picked all of them off and smashed them, but there were a few more this morning when I went out to check on them. In doing some reading they are pretty hard to kill with an insecticide, but that when there are just a few on there you can spray it down regularly with the water house to spray them off. Anybody have any NATURAL suggestions?
I also learned yesterday watching a local gardening show on RSU television that if you plant basil in the bed with your tomatoes it will produce better tasting tomatoes. They mentioned something about planting marigolds in the tomato bed also, but I didn't catch what that did. I went ahead and moved my basil in with the tomatoes and will add more later this afternoon when I get home (I have some sweet basil I started from seeds I got at Monticello last summer that are ready to be put into the ground).
