A wireworm (click beetle larva) has attacked my radishes!
The little devil fell off one of the radishes as it was plucked -- and I failed to squash it, being bare-handed and all. And by time I had run around to get my 'nearby' scissors -- it has scurried back into the earth. Where is beyond me.
Three out of four radishes damaged has me worried. Not so much for the radishes since they grow so quick, but for the parsnips I planted with them. At 110 days investment, that single wireworm could break my heart. How are so many pretty vegetables sold at the food store?
