Why not to let your veg get too big

[Anniekay]

French icicle radish. Real big and pretty isn't it?

But when it's cut open...



The end was still good but the top half, there was ROT !! Not just hollow but brownish black rot in there.

We all miss a veg now and then and they get too big and unpalatable. It isn't good !!

Good warning Annie, but I have to add, sometimes, and this year quite often, the perishing slugs get into the little gorgeous ones as well, and that's even less good

Oh dear

I grew my first French Breakfast radishes when I was at School. I planted a whole packet of seed in the confines of an old wooden seed tray with no bottom. They all came up very close together and I ate a few thinnings each day when I came home from school

That was 50 years ago, haven't got enough teeth for them now

True - you should grow some
