My poor garden has been getting attacked by something that's been eating into my root vegetables. The veggies are mostly fine, except there are brown streaks through the flesh -- obviously a tunneling something or other. A snail, a slug, an insect burrowing in. It is so frustrating to pull up a turnip and find that half of it isn't any good because of the brown streaks.
I cut away the yucky stuff, and have still have some good root to eat, but it makes my veggies ugly enough that I feel like I can't give them away to friends. I would want to give veggies that at least were whole, and didn't need trimming down.
I have other things coming up later this summer, so I'll have to wait for those.
