Garden Update 🏡: Leaf 🍀 Caterpillar Attacked Lemon 🍋 Plant

AssalamuAlaikum & Greetings Everyone!

Welcome to my blog. Today's topic is the care of fruit plants and their pest scouting. It is very important to have fruit plants in the garden because from these plants, we can get free fruit for the house, and we know that these fruits are natural and free from any chemicals.

A month ago I had planted some plants and cows and have been taking care of them. Today I saw that a caterpillar attacked a leaf of a lemon tree. It was green. I don't know what its species is, but I know for sure that it is damaging the leaves. I don't want to use any spray on it because I want a chemical-free lemon. Nor am I using urea and DAP on these plants. I only soften the soil of these plants after 15 days, add cow dung fertilizer to it, and then water it so that it remains green. I have seen only one caterpillar on this plant. After removing the caterpillar from the leaf, I have placed it on the ground in front of you. I will not try to kill it and will throw it away so that it does not harm my other plants. I have planted a plant that produces lemon fruit twice a year. It is just starting to flower. I hope that lemons will start to grow soon.

Now, let's talk about other plants. I have planted a grapevine, but the heat has become so intense that its leaves are drying up and falling off the vine. Only one leaf that I can see right now is green and is still standing on the vine. But I do not think that this leaf will remain green like this. I now feel that this leaf will dry up quickly and separate from the vine. After that, I do not know whether this vine will grow further or not. If anyone has experienced growing grapes, I need advice from them.

All the other fruit plants are growing and with each passing day, their new leaves and branches are starting to emerge. The rest of the plants that are in the plant are Guava, Malta, and Peach 🍑, are being planted. These plants are growing slowly, and after two years, fruit can be expected from them, too.

A pomegranate plant in my garden that I planted a year ago has quite a few branches now, but it is still very small and it may take another two to three years for it to grow and then start producing flowers. I want my garden to be full of plants and flowers, look lush, and show off its beautiful appearance.

It hasn't rained for a long time, so the leaves are covered in dust and dirt. I sprayed plain water with a shower to remove the dirt. I washed the leaves thoroughly, which washed the dirt off, and cleaned the plants and leaves of dust and dirt. This will help them absorb more air and moisture and their growth will increase rapidly. I will keep my blog updated next week on these fruit plants.
