Guest guest Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 I bought that book, Carrotts love tomatos, at a goodwill recently for a buck. I didn't get it before planting the garden but plan to make use of it during the long winter so I will be more prepared in the late spring.

I read a long time ago that chives and any other " onion family " plant also is repellent to aphids. I also remember (a way long time ago) seeing in a gardening catalog a plant " offer " of ornamental garlic (a.k.a., giant Allium (bulbs) flowers) that were advertized as good companions to plant near roses or any other " prone to draw aphids " flowers or plants. I've read and re-read --and had to replace because I wore it out-- a book by the title, " Carrots Love Tomatoes " , which is about all kinds of " companion plant " combinations. Thanks for the neat gardening information! I love learning new things about plants and plantng! --Laura B., in Illinois Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
