Bolted radishes

[Kaiya]

My radishes have bolted. I know with beets you can still eat the root, but with onions etc. it starts to go a bit wrong. Where do radishes stand? Can you still eat the roots or are they woody and it's just best to wait for seed pods to eat?

Most of the root crops go woody when they produce flower heads.

I'd dig them up and plant some more ..still plenty of time left this summer to make successive sowings that should keep you going into the autumn.

Try some and see! If they're woody and you would rather eat the seed pods, wait. If you'd rather eat radishes sow some more.

[Potstubsdustbins]

When raddish bolt the root goes hollow and becomes very woody to the point of being unedible.

Throw em and plant more.

As VC says, you can eat the seed pods. You can also eat the leaves, though I've not tried them once it ha bolted. I left a radish to bolt, to try the seed pods, and it took ages to bolt. It finally has, and has flowers, but no pods yet.
