Instead of pulling the Icicle Radish plants that are going to seed I’m going to harvest the seed pods for an extra harvest of tasty vegetables.
They are similar in taste and texture to green beans but with a slight radish flavor.
Mid spring here in North Carolina the temperatures jumped up into the mid 90’s with a few days of 100’s. The radishes and other veggies are starting to bolt. Its a HOT growing season this year.

that's amazing. beans on a radish. my radishes are growing too big so i'll try letting them seed as well.
bitch
Never thought of doing this, this sounds like something I'll be trying soon. Thanks
to save their seeds did you take them out of the pods after they were dry?
@BubbleBeet yup that's the point! thanks
I put them in salads. They are great but you got to let your radishes go to seed.
How long is the growing period of radishes?
Great stuff brother… I'm on my second year gardening & I didn't obtain seeds last year, because I didn't even know these appeared! Now, I have a slender 'breakfast' batch, would these differ do you think? & I let one go for a while now. IT'S 5 FEET TALL DUDE…I just noticed some of what you have here on it, but the stock/stem is almost 2 inches thick, the flowers reach higher than my corn!! Anyways, gardening is wild stuff & good times. Thanks for the video.
I grow a slender style of breakfast radish, & if mine are in the soil more then 5-6 weeks, they can get 'woody' tasting and pockets of air form, or the radish outgrows itself! Maybe someone here could tell if I'm giving them too much/little water, or if that's radish 'semantics'! I've eaten small radishes in 3 weeks time this year.(near 1×2 inch.)
