Have you got pictures? The main threat to my radishes is small slugs. However, as long as you wash them thoroughly and aren't too squeamish about the pitted surface, it is not a major issue.

thanks,

though its not slugs, more like the little worms you sometimes get in field mushrooms, you can cut into the radish and see the worm.. have you any idea what it is/what i can do about this.. apart from eating it with the radish for extra protein!!

I had big trouble with mice...they ate their way around my radishes and left me with what looked like mini apple cores!

Fingers crossed, I haven't seen any worms like you describe...
