Stingy radishes?!

[Leeds_lad]

Just been pulling up some of my radishes and was surprised to get stung by a few of them 0.0
I never knew they actually grew stingers, find out something new everyday!

Their leaves can be a bit prickly/stingy

[Peas'n'Kews]

Not strawberries, then?

^ Just what I was going to say

The very word "Stingy" makes me feel like a kid again! I always seemed to be falling in the Stingies - and I still call nettles that - not radishes or strawberries though!

Ooo I don't grow normal radishes - only rats tail ones. They're prickly when you try to weed them out (they self seed like mad)
Was asked today if I had any seeds - not sure if it's too late to put some in - mine are all flowering lovely now.

All of my radishes when going to seed have produced 'sting' leafs !! - so its nowt to worry about

Same here, lifted them all out yesterday and resowed some more.

Can you still eat the leaves of these like other radish leaves?

Erm I don't know.
I will go and have a try!


Well I haven't keeled over yet.
Only had a little leaf though -from near the top.
