aphids....or something else?

OK, so I thought I had aphids but now I am not sure. On my radish there are tiny black specks that jump off when I touch the leaves. They are so tiny that they don't even look like bugs. They are on my radish, lettuce and even all of the weeds I have. I will try to get a picture but they are so tiny they look like miniature onion seeds.
I knock them off and then they are back the next day.
Ugh!

Sounds like it might be flea beetles. Radishes are among their very favorite plants. The link below the image has information about how to control them organically.

Yeah, aphids don't usually jump, they just sit there and let you squish them!
