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. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com 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. George |
