Tomorrow I will be taking care of a fungal infection. I know what your thinking - Dee has yeast infection!! No, silly, my trees have yeast ahem fungal infection. But like the yeast infection white spots appear all over the trees bark and if they are fruit trees you may even get fungus seeping inside your fruits.

I have two custurd apple trees, one lemon tree, two mango trees, one neem tree, two berry trees, one cheeku tree one banana tree and two pomegranate trees and they are all have the fugal infection.

The soil is ridden with all kinds of ants, aphids, slugs and caterpillars. There are these green caterpillars that look very pretty but if they come in contact with your skin - its freakin' hell to pay. One fell on my arm, stung me and I had some circular rings form on my arm along with swelling.

And the pain! Don't even get me started on it!

My new hybrid roses have died thanks to the fungal infection, the trees are all whitish, fruits rotten and damn termites have also appeared.

Till last year I didnt give a rat's ass about my garden and things were fine- (except for that one longish snake that had a run in with me) we enjoyed fruits, lazed around and then wham the damn garden decided to turn against me when I decided to take up gardening.

Diseases and Pests have become the bane of my life. Anything I plant gets eaten or diseased and its fucking frustrating. I keep pulling the weeds out and they seem to re-appear at a nearby spot. I even cut down a damn unknown tree and it seems to be returning.

Gardening requires fortitude and patience and unfortunately I seem to have neither but at the same time I am not known to be a sore loser. The war may be lost ( one can't win over nature) but the battle will go on!
