Please can some one advise me on my radishes. I planted them a few weeks ago now. I think they are called Little Sparkler or something like that. I have been checking to see if they are ready but there doesn't seem to be much there. They have now got flowers on the top and about a foot tall, does that mean it is all too late?

How strange, Lesleygl, I grew these this year along with French Breakfast Radish and they definitely did not flower, even the very few I left in the ground.
I really do not know, but have they bolted and are now putting there energy into producing flowers and then seeds rather than the actual edible root? I just do not know, have not heard this about Radish yet.
Sorry lesleygl, you might want to sow some more, I hope they behave themselves!
I am sure some of the more experienced vines will point us in the right direction

Mine have all bolted, and are easily a foot high when in flower.

My latest haven't bolted ... yet, but I think they are about to! I have sown them inbetween practically all the other veg. I realise the problem of course, the cabbages and cauliflower are coming on so strong there is no light at all for the poor radishes so they're sending up their leaves to find it while their roots remain skinny. Another lesson learned, and whilst I am getting a little bit fed up of finding out the hard way, I keep thinking how successful I'll be with all this knowledge next year.Granny on the Game in Sheffield

Your radish have obviously never bolted then, you have happy radishes, that's great.
I had a few that bolted last year, but so far this year they're doing fine.
Pak choi, now that's a different story!
