Do I dig around gently and try to see how big they are? Pull out a couple as test for the whole batch?

This.

Keep the radishes in the refrigerator, in a plastic container or bag; otherwise they'll wilt.

(Hi, Minet!)

Dig around with your finger and try to estimate the size of the root. You know the expected mature size of radishes, carrots, etc.

I hope you thinned them. Crowded root crops don't get large.

I keep my radishes in a bowl of water in the fridge, after removing the tops and scrubbing them. I love the combination of crisp and cold with spicy hot! I've got carrots too, but none have grown big enough to harvest yet. I pull one every now and then to check!

I pulled three radishes a couple of days ago and put them right into the frig, where they seem to be ok. They are small - I probably wasn't as conscientious at thinning them out as I should have been. I did it more hit or miss.

I like the mysteriousness of things growing unseen, but it's more challenging. I didn't know something was eating the radishes until I pulled up a couple a week ago and found them half nibbled.

I'll keep trying though. Thanks for the advice.
