Voila - another display of Mother Nature's self-healing!

Some weeks ago, I was quite sore about my peach tree being entirely consumed by leaf curl disease. I'm pleased to note that it appears to be behind us. I'd originally planned to spray it with oregano and thyme oil, but time got away from me.


What did the miracle - some hours of carefully pulling out every single affected leaf, packing it away in a plastic bag and getting rid of it. The key is to ensure that there aren't any diseased leaves littering the area when the job is done. It didn't escape me that the poor balded plant then needed to run on overdrive to put out more green. I promptly top dressed it generously with compost and coffee grounds.
