I picked a few radishes yesterday and we have just has some in salad for tea but they are a little "woody". Sort of hard and dry in places rather than juicy if you know what I mean.
Anyone have any idea as to why that would be? Do you think I might have picked them a little late - maybe I need to pick them a little smaller than I did. :?

Hi lentil, yep, it sounds like they are a bit old.  You want them when they are nice and juicy.  I did that once, couldn't believe they grew so quickly!!!

Yes, sow a foot , once every 2 weeks , better still mix your varieties at the same sowing: i.e. don't alaways sow "French B/fast"
