| We recently started to harvest our radishes and, upon pulling some roots, found small holes with what looked like tiny white mites crawling around them. The holes are outlined with brown. Last year, this same mystery mite critter hit our turnips. They only seem to affect the crops at or just past their prime. I have looked extensively online for the culprit but have not found anything helpful. |
