Radishes

[Guykp57]

Help, just been up to allotment only to find some of my radish are White in amongst Red ones..have I not speared them out enough when they were seedlings? Or is it something more sinister..and there's lots of leaves on them which I assume is from from above instead of ground level. Please help.

Guy, I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

Pardon?

Take a deep breath, count to 10 and try that again please

I think what Guykp is saying is there are some white radishes amongst the red ones, it is because they weren't thinned (speared?) out.
If this is what the post is about then the answer is the white radishes are just from a rogue seed in the packet. If you watch Beechgrove they had an odd one too last week.
If that's not the question I have no idea either.

Hi, half are red and other half are white,,help

[Guykp57]

And are they safe to eat..the red ones are gorgeous and so tasty

[KittyColdNose]

I am sure the white radish are ok to eat Guy. If you eat the thinnings as you go then you sort two birds with one stone

I'd eat them anyways.

What variety of radish did you sow? I'm growing Rainbow radish that come in all shades of white pink and red. All perfectly edible

Probably just mixed seed in the packet... either by mistake or it was a collection?

(im not much help with the whites ones), i dont thin mine out/well i do kind-off, i first try and plant the seeds evenly and then always pickout the largest ones first giving the smaller ones time to grow on. Having read what ive just typed, i bet everyone does this.

I like the idea of spearing them, bit like fly-fishing but for your veg. Let us know if the white ones taste any different guy?

^^^^ I do that too jon! We've run out now, I've left a couple of huge ones to go to seed so we'll get radish pip thingies, have to plant out more tomorrow

[Guykp57]

What do you meaning by spearing?

You said it first Guy

Guy, sorry, im a bit of a plonker and didnt mean any offense, its better just to roll your eyes and humour me. On a plus i bought a packet of Raddish seeds today from the garden centre called Rainbow mix, from Thompson & Morgan, recons theyll be ready for harvest in 28 days, just have to find some spare lands for them.
