Granny's gone and done it again

Maybe that’s what has been eating my radishes. Do they eat leaves? Better head over to google now…

I dont know much about them. Let me know what you find!

I still don’t know if they eat leaves

They DO eat ladybugs though

And apparently dogs can’t eat them. Not sure why a dog would go around eating beetles in the first place though.

Asian lady beetles can actually have a beneficial effect on garden ecosystems. Some species of these beetles will eat insects that might otherwise prey on your garden flora. However, others may direct their appetite primarily against any agricultural crop plants you happen to cultivate, forcing you to take action against them.

I know that dont help much

Look for aphids on the underside of your leaves. If you have those then thats probably what the beetles are eating .

Interesting. So far only my radish/turnip leaves are getting eaten. We don’t eat those, so I didn’t really interfere. Not sure what I should do IF they DO decide to go chewing on my veggie greens tho.
