My radish leafs look great but no radish.all I have is a root this is happening with the white and red ones whats up, any help would be apreciated.

I am not an expert with radishes but here is what I have. I planted 3 types 1 month ago today, German Giant, German Beer, and Easter Egg. All of the leaves are large and healthy looking. The German Giant and Easter Egg started enlarging their roots about a week ago while the German Beer hasn't. (The German Beer does not grow the standard bulb shape just a thickened root). Yesterday I harvested my largest Easter Egg radish which was about half typical size, I couldn't wait!

For the last month the weather here in the Carolina's has been great for gardening. How has your weather been?

How long have they been growing and what types do you have?

Do they have enough space between plants for the bulbs to grow?

Lastly, my plants are only getting about 7 hours of sun and I expect them to take longer not being in full sun.

I mentioned the weather since he was from Illinois. I was thinking that the weather might not have been cooperating for him this Spring.

I was getting impatient with my radishes early last week when they just started showing signs of growing bulbs. How does that saying go....A watched pot never boils. That was me...So yesterday, I snagged one out early and it was good. (not trying to rub it in) {grin}

I agree with you on other problems probably showing up if there was a soil deficiency.

Hopefully for him it will just be the case of impatience like I had/have.

I have radish's growing from letting my radish's
go to seed last year.....The babies are everywhere.. mine are how the above/top/first post stated, but I know mine have just started
and will eventually fill out..

Check with your watering..
It is verrrrrrrrry important with radish's to keep moisture levels constant..
not sopping wet,
but moist.. that ensures a long root, and not woody or hot...

Lakegran,
Welcome to the forum.
You will need to thin them out based on the size of bulbs that your type of plant will grow. Using scissors to cut off the tops is better than pulling the plants out and risking damage to the remaining roots.

Yes, your dad is/was absolutely correct..
By the time you see the flower, those radish's are soooooooo hot and woody, no one would want to eat them...
but I am an experimenter, I am slow, and I love flowers, soooooooo I let them go.. and the butterflies loved them... they were so pretty *I think* and I got free seeds and babies out of it..

It may not be a good thing for a regular garden, or gardener.......

Well, as far as waiting, I would, I know mine are just starting to take hold....

How long ago did you plant them????

Did they get hit by any of the hard frosts lately?

It does sound a bit.. but if it's good, it's good...
I have never gotten the radishes at my house, past the backyard, and a good swipin' on my pants to wash the dirt off and eatin' in the back yard..
I swear, I can't get them in the house...

My Granny Loveddddddd radishes, she would just clean 'em up and salt them good...
I tend to eat them that way myself..
I think she used to eat them on a sandwich,
but I've been sitting here thinkin' and for the life of me, I can't remember what she did with them...
*it may very well have been butter..*
