Rita, I discovered some aphids (&^$%^%#%$@#$&!!!!!) on my tomato. I mixed up neem oil and soap and doused it good. The way the little cage is set up I can just lift it up, tend the plant, then put it back. Doused my brocs also. For sure this fall the beds will be drenched with neem oil and soap. Then covered with mulch. And yes if this works I will most surely have several pots of tomatoes.
I harvested 3.5 quarts of rhubarb (red and green), several brocs (which I will freeze after soaking in salted water to get the neem oil and any bugs off) and a bunch of spinach for D's salads. Salad bowl lettuce is so difficult to wash. The Olga which is a hybrid of salad bowl and, drat grey moment, the stuff you make caesar salads from. Stands up nicely and is crunchier.
