I've noticed big holes in the leaves of my radishes. Nothing else sees to be effected (and, as the pics I've posted in the past show, my SFG in nicely jam packed!).

Any ideas? I haven't taken pics yet, just asking for now....

They could be slugs eating your radish leaves, i think you should post pictures so we can see what kind of damage it is.

Now I read something cool about radishes... they attract the bugs AWAY from other plants to eat on them...

Also, damage to radish leaves does not affect the quality of the root!

I think its a win win situation, and do not treat the radish for pests... just any surrounding plants you don't want bothered.

Great news!

No slugs, just holes in the leaves.

As always, thanks for the info!:frow
