We left our sweet baby radish grow well past the recommended 3 inch harvest size and 40-45 days. With all the rain and our amended soil in our raised bed, the radish grew to be well over 4 inches in diameter and nearly six inches long. To my surprise the texture and taste were still very acceptable. It was not woody or overly spicey which often occurs as radishes get older.
