Open your mind, dear readers…. imagine….
a blank screen suddenly filled with various pests, insects and bugs that plagues plants, just like the old classic space invaders game, slowly moving its way down the screen and your mission is to eradicate them all else the speed of them descend accelerates and will eventually come crashing down on you before you can say “DIE EVIL VERMINS!”
So before you, you see your bottle of pesticide which is movable from left to right using the space bar, to fire at the vermins, button for firing is “Enter”. As you rapidly shoot away at the descending vermins, you try to kill them as fast as they appear. Just as you have cleared them down to the last line of descending vermins, their speed escalated and descended down FAST on you, before you know it GAME OVER! —- to replay press “START” 
AH so as you can see battling these pests that plagues my plants are really frustrating. I keep them indoors so as to try and contain them and keep it under better control. I had left plants outdoor in my garden only to find aphids feasting on them. Much as I regularly spray the leaves and plants with a lethal homemade concoction of boiling a mix of onions, garlic and hot chili peppers in 2 litres of water, reduced down to 1 liter or less. Nothing seems to work. I did not want to use commercially available pesticides as those contain chemicals and I do have food plants nearby as well and have no wish to contaminate them with chemicals. I learn from my online gardening friends on the use of neem oil and such. To be really honest, neem oil is not found in my city, it can be found in Buenos Aires I am sure. OR maybe they do have neem oil here but its called something else in spanish. WHO KNOWS?!?!? So anyway, I continued to battle on, on my own with other various organic ways, initially it seems to work but eventually they come back again and again. OH the hassle of it all! In the end I seriously give up.
Well no I have not stopped gardening exactly, I just refused to get new plants or to be bothered with the pests anymore. Furthermore I decided that carnivorous plants are more fun! No doubt they will get their share of pests eventually, but I hope they (the vermins) will never find my secret stash safely tuck away in the corner of my spare room, locked away from all that hullabaloo.
