All tops and that's a real problem

My radish shoots sport a rich, green complexion. They'd be winners in a spinach show. Except, I need them to put out some roots to be useful. Its a classic "inexperienced gardener" issue of not having thinned them aggressively. Or, perhaps I prepared the patch all too well - broke the clay and amended it with matter too rich in nitrogen.

I'm also told that the radish is a cool weather crop that I might have planted too late in San Diego. Apparently, such high temperatures may supress bulbing. Note to self: plant in Jan and feed it a bone meal.
