What eats radish leaves?
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! Jayne |

Sounds as if the leaves are being got at by Flea beetle.
The eggs could well be Lady bird -- David Hill Abacus nurseries www.abacus-nurseries.co.uk |

What eats radish leaves?
Put some treacle on a piece of card and hold it over the radishes while you
move the leaves about and you should catch the flea beetle if that's what it is PS My tortoise loves radish leaves too!
