I have about 50(!) on each (including those already eaten), though these had time to establish good roots over the fall and winter. Interestingly their leaves didn't really die back until spring.

And I sure better get me some figs before the critters get to them or I will be one unhappy Wench!<br /><br />Hey Jean! At least some good will come of this. Wing Nut is going to use radishes as an example of "bad bug" damage for the Junior Gardeners' Seminar at the nursery this weekend.Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12864042359805755661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6991056909531844827.post-65815487198195412242009-06-10T11:53:12.295-07:002009-06-10T11:53:12.295-07:00Oh no Karen!

We can't find any creepy crawlies either above or below ground and nothing on the roots either. But the holes are made on the shoulders once the radishes heave up. <br /><br />Neither had I, Phoenix C. Only one of the four sage plants flowered this Spring.
