My tomatoes get white fly. There are some traps that you can buy. the are basically white pieces of cardboard with some sticky residue on them. You hand them off of one of the vines. Or you can take some white poster board and smear vaseline on it also. Just hang themoff abine. The flies will get stuck on them. I have read that you can plant various types of different flowers to certain veggies and they deter bugs. I think marigolds work for cucumber type of veggies.
Good luck! I am jealous, I just planted my tomatoes and green peppers!
