Growing daikon radish for the first time this year in zone 5. I bought Burpee daikon seeds (although it doesn't specify the cultivar) and direct-sowed them on 4/13. Leaves are growing large but it has started to bolt already. I pulled one plant to check out the below-ground progress. While the root is about 6" long, it's only 1/4" thick. Will they turn really bitter if I let them continue to grow? From a permaculture perspective, should I let them continue to grow even if not edible?
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize that we can't eat money. Cree proverb
