Passion fruit in the growth process!




This is the season of passion fruit in our garden normally! We have only few of them in the creeper and among those few, a few are already damaged. Insects come to feed on them from the flowering stage!

It is disappointing to watch this happen. 

When we resort to organic farming, there are risks like this!

We have avoided pesticides during the last seven years in our garden. So the rose bushes, mango trees,  coconut palms, etc. are under severe attack by different insects and fungi. 

Learning to live with the outcome and allowing some concession for predators is a challenge!

A difficult choice!
