It’s a never-ending saga with my citrus trees: plenty of bugs and leaf miner scales. They really like to hide. So when you’re spraying your trees, make sure you get the underside of the leaves and even unfold some of the curled leaves to find them. Sometimes, I just pick them off when the leaves are too damaged.

For a homemade anti-bug solution, mix one drop of dish soap, one drop of oil, and half a liter of water. Give it a good mix/shake and spray your trees as many times as you like. This solution works well against whiteflies too. If that doesn’t work, a biodegradable room spray is great as well. Make sure it’s biodegradable and environmentally friendly.

Also, top up the pots with some fresh, good-quality potting mix and feed your trees with Seasoil.

The lemons are looking great. Autumn is my favorite time of the year.

What a beautiful day to be out working in the veggie patch!
