Maybe they’re just not old enough to pick yet? What do you think @marksaunders ? 🤔

We've gone from ice to extreme heat this spring, It's been a funny year for things going to seed, my onions, garlic and even the rhubarb keeps going to seed, the next batch will be back to normal I would think now as the weather is getting back to normal.. 👍

Sow some more. As Kimmy says the weather has been bizarre.

Oh they look healthy- just thin them out so they can develop into yummy radishes

@carolecuttingitfine oh I don’t like to kill any of them , when my tomatoes seeds all pop out instead of wasting them I found families to adopt my #babytomatoesplants

Radishes are slightly different as they need room to swell but you can thin them and repot in new pots they tend not to be so strong but will develop - also I sow a few seeds every 2 weeks as the seeds are big enough to handle to sow thinly and they mature very quickly.. and you’ll have a continuous supply with out lots of pots taking valuable space! You’ve obviously got greenfingers as these look great! 😊
