Farmer Notes
Flea beetles are tiny, black and jump around in swarms. They have one hatch in May and another in early August, but they remain a pain all season long. The crops that they love the most ( Napa, Choy, kohlrabi, radishes, and baby greens) are covered with row cover as soon as they are planted in the field by seed or transplants. Even so, these little buggers are already in the soil or manage to sneak under the fabric and do their damage. Some seasons are worse than others, and at times we need to spray a pyrethrin based, organically approved, Pyganic just to save a crop from failure. I know that these holes in the leaves do not look appealing, but there is nothing in the least to worry about. We wash the produce and you should as well. There is ample research that shows that crops that have struggled to overcome pests actually have more phytonutrients than those who have not. It is also a fact that some 40% of the produce grown here in the U.S. never makes it to the dinner table. We try our best to grow food that is nutrient dense, fresh and, most of the time, looks fantastic. That being said, if a crop is subpar in your book, shoot me an email and let me know – we are always striving to do better.
