Allotments 4 All

Hi everyone, Im growing radish in raised beds under a pvc cloche & something has been nibbling at the edges of the leaves. I dont think its slugs as they would eat the whold seedling. I did find some black ants in the bed & wondered if they may ne doing it?
What do you think ???

I think its flea beetles they love radishes!!!! >:(

Hi Duke, I did wonder if it was them but the seedlings dont have the tell tale holes that flea beetles usually leave behind. Whole pieces of the leaves have gone missing. It's a mystery!

Pigeons or leaf-cutter bees?

I think that it is flea beetles.  They seem to be particularly abundant this year. The plants seem to recover from them when they get a little bigger.
