Today we harvested our largest radish, a Watermelon Radish, almost as big as a turnip, a handsome pink color with white, only the radish was burrowed into by the wire worm, all deformed, and in fact one of them appeared so as to have his photograph taken!
We learned that the wire worm is particularly prevelant when turf is converted to garden. We hope it will not also burrow into our carrots and beets and potatoes! Continued cultivation in the fall is one solution so that the worms will be noticed by their predators, such as, an article suggests, your chickens!
