What;s growing underground?

18 years ago

This is my first year at planting vegetables that grow underground, such as radishes and onions. I think I grew carrots as a kid but don't remember much.

I'm not sure how to know when to pull them out to eat. Do I dig around gently and try to see how big they are? Pull out a couple as test for the whole batch?

I pulled out a radish that was poking above the ground a little. It looked great - but then the very next day, after sitting on the kitchen counter, it became wilted and rubbery. Other radishes I've pulled up are either too small or have been nibbled on by something.

Is there a reliable method to know when it's time to harvest the underground veggies? Thanks.
