For several years I've tried to grow daikon radish. I've planted early, I've
planted late. No matter when I plant them, they bolt before the root is one
inch around. Has anyone here grown daikon sucessfully? If so, when did you
plant, and what was the weather like?

Daikon is simply the Japanese word for radish. In this country usually
refers to winter/ oriental radishes. They grow easily when planted in
the fall. In my climate late August, but earlier in cooler climates.
There are many cultivars, some top shaped som carrot shaped and in
many colors. They need relativly good soil, ( they need to size up
relatively fast) and water. They don't handle stress real well. I have
had good luck with "Watermelon" and "China Rose'
