Against common advice for root plants like radish, I transplanted the sprouts to the best of my ability. I have limited garden space now, but every potential space received a radish sprout. I didn't have high expectations, but, again, I gave them a chance.

They grew.

Most of them had only leaves. I thinned those and made delicious radish leaf soup. Others started to form actual radishes.

Veggie box with lush daikon radish plants growing. The large leaves of two plants occupy most of the picture. One of the plants has started to form a white radish. There are other much smaller plants around: a spinach and a cilantro.

... and best of all, in the sunny locations the radishes grew quite a lot! As you can see, the variety that made it was the Daikon type. We've been having many tasty soups these winter. The roots are quite strong, but the leaves are so good. Even Little Kid (who is not very adventurous in trying new flavors) gave them a try.

I don't know. The thought that came to me was, maybe give your seeds a chance, the real ones and the metaphorical ones.

Two very large daikon radishes placed on a wood block next to a hand shovel for comparison. The roots are roughly the same size as the hand shovel, and the leaves much larger.
