| Nearly ready to harvest, these peaches have been unaffected by the whitefly which have invaded the tree. The lower leaves are suffering from the slow death of a thousand nibbles, but I will be summer pruning the tree as soon as the peaches are gone, and will then attack the whitefly mercilessly with EcoNeen oil. |

| I have just checked my apples and found one with the dreaded codling moth entry hole. I removed the apple and put it in a cliplock bag and then into the garbage. I have started to put exclusion bags on the remaining fruit to keep the pesky moths at bay. I think this one must have been a blow-in, since none of my other apples have been effective, and I have used extensive defencive measures this year. |
