Folks:  Is there something I don't know about growing these?  I planted an 8' row as an expeiment and got 2 radishes to size up-- the rest had lovely greens, but no radish of which to speak.
 

They take longer to size up than regular radishes. Maybe you didn't give them long enough?

The first year I grew them I thought they weren't going to do anything; but they eventually did. They will get quite large (though I wouldn't wait to see whether they'll actually reach watermelon size) -- and I thought the tops were more like turnip tops than radish tops.
