Radishes

They were so bad that I pulled the plants, put them directly into a large trash can, and hauled them to a burning pile.

I'm pretty sure that where I went wrong was by not keeping the pods picked soon enough. Stink, Harlequin, and Squash bugs will do in a crop - in a short time.

How do they know?
Do they just fly around looking for prey or what.
