  • Tomatoes and Basil

    Companion planting....

    Am I imagining it, or did I read somewhere that you can plant basil near your tomatoes and it helps them (not sure whether the help is pest related, or flavour related)?

    Basil is supposed to be a whitefly magnet and I am growing them both together for this reason - dont know if true - first time for me.

            I'm with you Dobby...Marigolds have kept my Toms whitefly free for years. I do have a few basil plants in there,but just cos they taste good together.
