    I think they look very nice @roders . I love radishes . Tried to grow them once , they do grow very easily . But if you don't know when to pick them they become very woody. A skill I never mastered.

        I'm with you Roders, they look more like carrots to me and they wouldn't look quite the same in a salad, sliced or not!

          Can't stand the things myself, had to grow them for the parents as a child. Trick is to sow little and often and water. If they grow slowly they become woody. Pick when about 1/4 to 1/2 inches in diameter.
