I didn’t plant these either

First of all we get potatoes coming to the party and now we get a variety of pests coming to join the fun uninvited. The blisters on the beetroot leaves are made by mangold fly maggots, which could eventually kill the whole plant if left to their own devices. So I removed the blistered leaves and disposed of them. Or, as in this case, cut open the blister and photographed the icky maggots. Then disposed of them.
