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.
In our climate we get about a 50/50 harvest of radishes. Our daily temp
this month is about 90-95 temperatures but we only grow radishes in the
winter. Mostly depends on daily temps, soft soil, etc. We grow our
veggies in above ground beds with a mixture of several types of soil
including compost, composted cow manure helps too.

This year we had two back to back days of 21F in January and this time
of year we get up to 100 degrees heat occasionally. It all depends on
the weather. At our previous home we had deep soil from hundreds of
years of detritus and a few shade trees and our crops were very large
most of the time. This stuff is a little bit of sand on gumbo clay so we
did the raised beds. The beds are in need of being redone so we may have
no garden this fall.
