Here is a problem that has me stumped! Anybody have any ideas? I planted Cherry Belle radish and ate a lot of them and let a lot of them flower and go to seed. The seed pods were carefully dried and the seed removed. The next spring I planted my own seed - with pride. However, the radishes from this saved seed were a riot of shapes and sizes - very interesting to look at but, unfortunately, most were inedible.
I was really surprized, because nowhere did I see that Cherry Belle was a hybrid. I thought the seed would come true. Is it possible the flowering radishes cross-pollinated with something?
Anybody have this kind of problem with other saved seed?
