Do tomato plants repel mosquitos?


Question:I have planted tomato plants outside my apartment door in a little space of dirt and I hardley have mosquitos outside, so it looks to me like they repel them...any ideas or coments or places i could look it up?

Answers:
No, they don't. What probably happens is your plants are absorbing the rain water, you don't have puddles nearby and the mosquito have no place to lay their larvae.


Actually, I have over 20 tomato plants, and the mosquitos were biting me on my legs while I was harvesting the fruits.
I get eaten alive in the garden whether I'm near the tomato plants or not.

So I vote no.
no
I wish! I get eaten every time I go out to my garden! Just be happy that yours are sucking up all that water and using it give you tomatoes instead of bites!
