This may have already been discussed, so forgive me if I'm repeating an old topic.
I'm not a regular tomato grower here, but I did manage to get some seeds started early this spring. The tomatoes have looked great and for the last few weeks I've been waiting patiently for them to ripen. Just this past week I picked my 1st one with several almost ready...and then the mosquitoes moved in.
They seem to be swarming my ripening tomatoes. I've google searched this and I'm finding several things on something in tomatoes that could be used as a mosquito repellent - but I seem to have the opposite problem. I've never seen or heard of this, so I'm wondering why they do this? Will it hurt my tomatoes? I just put out a sticky trap and I noticed that some are landing on the stems and are getting stuck. Is there anything else I can do that would kill the mosquitoes, but not me and the tomatoes?
Thanks for any help you can give-
Peggy
