Having lived in Florida for a long time, I gave up on growing vegetables some time ago. What happened was I have 2 areas of compost. One a large area in back of my husbands huge work shop. But this year I made one in a very large tree container. Well about 15 tomato plants came up and I decided to let them grow! I was going to pluck them, but didn't. So now I have lots of tomatoes but noticed little holes on some of them. I knew what that meant. But these aren't the green horned ones, they're brown. So since I let them grow, I HAVE to save the tomatoes, right??
I grow a lot of ornamentals, trees and shrubbery and so I have my compost. Next year... no veggies! I found out long ago that the more you spray, the more little critters you have. Don't ask me why, but I rarely have problems with the other plants. I was told tobacco was good to use, with a little dish detergent. I did get a lot of them today, but stomped on them!
Way off the subject of DN though. I checked out the web site and got the info. I really enjoy Amy. Glad I have a Dish to watch on Link TV!
Tobacco is a chemical, I guess it is! Oh well, I already bought some at the grocery store, I don't smoke! Thanks!
