Several on my radishes have developed 12 to 18"
stocks with white flowers on the ends.

They are "Bolting," i.e. going to seed, and the roots will have turned
very hot and tough. The good news is that the immature green seed
pods are delicious stir-fried. There are actually varieties bred for
this use.

So, pull them out?

Yup!


I just did. None of them had a radish under them.

So, just some do that and other develop fat roots?

Well, it makes room. It is crowed in there.


I think every radish I ever planted bolted when the weather got warm.
