Radish; gone to seed.

1. Gnarly.

I'm growing rat tail radishes as an experiment. They're supposed to do better in moderate heat because the above ground pods are what's edible rather than the root. The SO thinks it's not going to work.

3. I've never heard of rat tail radishes.

Do they grow as quickly as ordinary radishes?

[Gormy Cuss]

7. Yes.

They look like your gone-to-seed ones except the seed pod is the edible, radish-like section. They are unusual.

5. Okay, I'm blind - I read that as "rat tall" radishes

I wondered how tall a rat was...

8. Shorter than most radish plants, taller than most radishes.

2. My dear Ptah!

Now there's a picture for you!

Really interesting, IMHO...

Is it still edible?

Probably not, but I love the pic...

4. I'm thinking it will be a bitter taste, but who knows?

6. Oops, it's peyote.
