They're radishes that have bolted (flowered and gone to seed).
Pretty aren't they!
You can eat the seed pods too

can you identify this vegitable?
Thank you veggiechicken, what has gone wrong? they were grown in containers no sign of a radish underground only spindly roots.Originally posted by veggiechicken View PostThey're radishes that have bolted (flowered and gone to seed).

Hi Tim-tim
Radish is supposed to be the easiest thing to grow but I and many others struggle, they dont like it too hot and need to be kept watered, they have bolted but some will argue that the pods are nicer than the radish.Comment

I agree, I don't think that they are easy at all. I only get a decent crop from the first sowing of the year and then they have to be covered with fleece or they get flea beetle. This year I have left some to go to seed instead of pulling them up when they have got woody. Hopefully the seed pods will taste nice and I can pretend that I have done it on purpose instead of by accident!Originally posted by Greenleaves View Post

I grow radishes just for the pods in my opinion the pods are tastier than the actual radishes.Location....East Midlands.Comment

I seem to get on well with radish and have tried to think what I do that helps me along.
The pots sit on the side of the pond and are in full sun for 75% of the day, so that one rule I break. The only thing I do that is possibly different to everyone else is born out of pure idleness when the plants are through to water I immerse the complete container in the pond then let it drain sat on the side, this time of year I do this almost daily.Last edited by Potstubsdustbins; 05-07-2015, 07:39 PM.Potty by name Potty by nature.

I am hopeless with radishes, just can't get them to fill out at all, and I've been trying for 5 years now! I think lack of water was the problem this year, though.Comment

I've had success with radishes, but I think they're one of those crops that needs to grow quickly without a check. So plenty of water and good soil, not too much heat. I normally harvest mine about a month after sowing the seeds, any longer and they bolt or get pithy.Comment

Thank you all for your replies, looks like radish pods are now on the menu.
I have looked and many ways of serving them so all is not lost.
Thank you again.Comment

I am seeding one of my Mooli plants (which I suppose is a ginormous radish) It has quite a few of these pods which i'm hoping will mature in time for sowing mid July as I did so last year and had a wonderful crop.

I can grow them in the spring & autumn just fine, but as soon as it warms up and dries up, they all bolt. Doesn't matter if I water them every day, they still bolt in summerAll gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.Comment
