Default Radishes or turnips ???

Andy writes:

Well, in my new garden I planted a row of radishes about 2 months
ago. It said radishes on the package..

When the greens formed, they were definitely NOT turnip greens.

However, today when I picked a dozen or so, they were about 2 inches
in diameter and looked A LOT like turnips. I couldn't tell by the
taste,
since a radish seems a lot like a turnip to me... They looked like
turnips, and had the purple band around the top like a turnip does.
Some were radish size and some were turnip size..

So, my question is, if one lets radishs go a long time before
picking, do some of them increase in size and look like turnips...??
Or, did the seed packager screw up ??

PS I ain't complaining... they taste pretty good. I just don't know
what I'm eating....
