Hello,
I have more than 50 tomato plants, and about 15 pepper plants, and 5 eggplants. The eggplant and pepper plants are about 1 month old. They are infested with aphids. The tomato plants are in the same area as the eggplants/pepper plants but have no aphids. What is the cause of this? I was going to start some Bhut Jolokia peppers, but if they will be infestested with the aphids I wont grow them. After all, I am all about matrs and dont want to attract aphids into the tomato zones and eventually have a aphid infestation on the matrs. Let me know what you guys think.


Thanks a lot!
