Tomatoes
are Evil
Did
You Know?
Basil makes
a good companion to tomatoes, not just in the kitchen, but in the
garden! Basil deters tomato hornworm, aphids, flies and mosquitoes,
slows the growth of milkweed bugs and acts as a fungicide. Use 3
basil plants for every tomato plant. Borage is
also a good choice, because it deters tomato worms, while it attracts
bees, helping the growth and flavor of your tomatoes while upping
yields due to increased pollination.

When I discovered Heirloom tomatoes, I just didn't want to ever
eat a "normal" tomato again. Even if you live
in an area where these kinds of heirloom seeds are hard
to come by, the fabulous news is that now you can order
heirloom tomato seeds from online seed catalogs! Tomatoes
like the Black Krim tomato, the Big Rainbow & Striped
Stuffer tomatoes, Watermelon Beefsteak tomatoes, Brandywine & Mortgage
Lifter tomatoes, and more. Truly outstanding flavors that
differ significantly from fruit to fruit, something you
don't even realize if you're used to the sort-of-anonymous
flavor of the supermarket variety.

PyolaTM
and Soap-Shield®
Save on this Special Organic Spray Combo
Gardeners should have these two products on hand right from the start of the
season -- Pyola to control insect pests (works great for aphids!) and Soap-Shield
to fight disease. Like the moldy white powdery mildew and fungus that can attack
tomato plants under very moist environmental conditions. Buy combo
and pay $5.95 less than if purchased separately!
Tomatoes Alive!? Plus
What great flavor! All without chemicals! This
100% all-natural fertilizer produces vigorous plants, big crops
and luscious flavor in tomatoes, peppers and eggplants. I didn't
think fertilizers varied all that much--but in this case, using
this fertilizer that's made especially for tomato plants & related
members of the nightshade family really did seem to make a fairly
HUGE difference.
