Why not to let your veg get too big

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

😱😱😱

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 😬😁
