I don't recall my grandmother complaining too much beyond the usual suspects when it came to insects (e.g., potato bugs, aphids, leaf munching worms), but I am sure if I really got into gardening and paid closer attention, I would find something more "exotic". Fungal spores that can survive a nuke just aren't fair. Nature creates some crazy shit.
