Flea Beetles are very tiny beetles that love to chew through the radish
leaves. Organic gardeners use radishes planted between other crops to draw
the beetles to the radishes rather than their prized vegetables. They will
not prohibit the growth of the actual radish, but the leaves look pretty
lacy. Sorry about the flower show - maybe you can put a sign that says they
were organically grown. I'm not sure what the eggs are. They may be
ladybugs.

Good luck.

My daughter is growing radishes & is fed up that there are teeny little
holes in the leaves as she wanted to enter her radishes in the village WI
flower show competition next month - any idea what is eating them?
Also there are some very small yellow eggs on the leaves - I'm wondering
what they are too - ladybirds?

Thanks for any replies!
