RE: Tomatoes, peppers, and herbs!
You'll definitely need space for the tomatoes! 14 plants will be a ton of tomatoes!
and I think the markings on the mint are from 4-lined bug. When small, they are red dots, but they grow to have 4 black lines with yellow in between - about a quarter inch long. A quick search and you'll find info (the link I found didn't work here for some reason).
I think I'll move some of them then. I'm planning on expanding the garden anyway, to add some squash, cucumber, and eggplant. We may do some canning this summer too, since we're going to be swamped with tomatoes!
Dang it. I thought it was probably another bug...
You can spray horticultural oil or insecticidal soap to get rid of bugs. both are safe for mammals.
I use Neem Oil to get rid of my pest. Goes a long way especially if you buy the concentrated bottle and it's safe and non-toxic.
Thanks!
