Thanks for the link, MsCowpea - at first glance, it appears to offer some possible options that I have not heard about before.
Carolyn - clarify, please...

In my experience they go for eggplant first, then potatoes, then tomatoes, but when I've planted those close to the tomatoes it has not worked as an effective trap crop.

Does that mean that
although they seem to prefer these plants in this order, none is strong enough to deter them from the tomatoes? Are you saying, then, that a row of potatoes would likely have no noticeable value (except for my aforementioned bowl of new peas and potatoes?)
