Default Radishes or turnips ???

Whoa. Radishes have a different taste than turnips. Most of the early
one's are fairly pungent. There are radishes that grow to shape and
size of turnips and they come in all colors. Ther are are also radishes
which have the physical appearence of Carrots, although most are white,
green or red. What cultivar did you plant? Radishes are a big diverse
family. If you still eat eat them when they were turnip size and after
two months, you MIGHT have a Daikon (Oriental winter radish) type. Most
of the summer radishes get tough and woody in a pretty short time.
