I grew a row of turnips this year. They have a lovely healthy top to them,
and I have been delighted by the way they have developed from marble to golf
ball to tennis ball and bigger. I thought I would sample one today, as they
will benefit from thinning anyway.

On washing and peeling it, I was dismayed to find that it was unusable, as
it had been attacked by a series of small grubs that had bored into it and
introduced a network of brown rotten trails through it.

I have not checked the rest of the row, but if it is the turnip equivalent
of carrot fly, I suspect that I may as well rip them all out and chuck them
in the compost bin.

Any thoughts please? Am I too late to do anything to rescue some crop?

cheers
