    We love to plant radish and turnip in our garden. To go out and pick fresh radish for your salad is a great feeling, but when you pull them and they are full of little brown tunnels and little white root maggots :-x It ruins your appetite quickly!!!! :'( We have tried granules when planting the seed but that didn't help a bit; and I was afraid the birds would eat it, it looked like cracked corn so we had to be very careful and bury it well. Please help!! I miss my fresh radishes :D
