Hello,

I am growing some radishes (for the first time!) but I am not sure if
they have all gone a bit wrong. I am growing them in pots and they are
in the garden in sun.

However, they seem to be pushing themselves out of the soil... it's like
they are trying to escape?? So I assumed they are too close together and
pulled some out, I thought they would be fine to eat but when I cut one
of them open it wasn't solid inside (I'm not sure how else to describe
it). Then I got a bit worried and through the ones I'd pulled out in the
bin.

Should I just throw the rest away or can someone help me rescue them?!

Thanks very much!

What is the texture of the radishes like? Do they go "crunch", or are
they pithy and tough? If the latter, they are "post" ripe, but you could
keep them, and harvest the seed pods for use in salads, or since they
grow so fast, just replant.

Mad dog Republicans to the right. Democratic spider webs to the left. True conservatives, and liberals not to be found anywhere in the phantasmagoria
of the American political landscape.

America is not broke. The country is awash in wealth and cash.
It's just that it's not in your hands. It has been transferred, in the
greatest heist in history, from the workers and consumers to the banks
and the portfolios of the uber-rich.
