if its the round red ones start pulling when they are half the size of a golf ball. they don't all get ready at the same time. you can generally see the top of the root when they are ready. the long white carrot shaped ones are good at about 2/12 inchs long. same thing you usually can see the top of the root. can even brush a little dirt off if your careful to gauge the size of them

First time i grew them i let them get a little too big and they actually got really hot. Bit into the first one and boy what a surprise. They will get a little tough/woody also if allowed to grow too big as trapdog1 said. I prefer the carrot shaped white ones.

Saute them in a bit of butter. They get sweet when cooked.

When my girls were jr high kids, they had rabbits for 4h. Those tops were ate as fast as we fed them.

If you have lettuce put some in a bowl. Add thinly sliced radishs. Chop up some bacon and fry it. Put a little sugar on the lettuce. Pour the skillet of hot bacon grease and chopped bacon in. Stir it up some by tossing it like any other salad.
You will do it pretty regular after that first time

Is that about the right size or should I let them get a little bigger? No you will have enough big ones no matter what never heard of anyone not planting enough radishes but it is possible
