Slim Tomato Horn Worms - gardens + onions

[Guest guest]

Hi Bev,

Thanks for the tip about the onions. I've never grown any and was just googling

to find out some more about it. Do you think just quartering a few pounds of

store onions could have some growing quickly? They seem to sprout and grow roots

and greens fast enough on their own in the fridge or when stored at room

temp(??). Likely the sharp smell of the onion plants deters the moths from

laying their eggs. I never saw a hornworm until I had some tomato plants. And I

never saw any harlequin bugs before I grew any collards or kale!

 

Thanks for your thoughts,

 

Slim

worns have come, but they do if you plant them before they come. But it is

worth a try. ... [!!!!]
