I'm not aware of any but, then, radishes grow extremely well in what passes for winter and spring down here. they really don't require a lot of water so they only get rain or the odd soaking when it doesn't rain. What appears to be biting your radishes? If it's caterpillars you can use Bt in either the spray on or dry form to stop that. It is good to hear from you though, I was beginning to worry. How's Jimmy?
