My radish plants have many holes on the leaves but no sign of slug trails & the holes look more like someone has stabbed a point through the leaves rather than munched on them
any ideas what this could be?
They were under fleece until a week ago & are under a net tunnel now

Crystalmoon,
Sounds like flea beetles to me.
There are different methods of control depending on whether you are organic or not.
Try goggling them and see if it fits the decription.
They love my radishes too! ;D

Thanks Doris I will check out flea beetles...if they dont make the radish inedible i will probably leave them to it

Derris - very very organic, but a box load before they ban it.
