OK - so let the daikons flower and set seed? Have never seen a pod so this is all a learning experience. I wanted to grow these both for eating and for the permaculture benefits. Leaving the plants to grow on this year to collect the seed/pods will work for what I was hoping. My decision to grow them was totally spontaneous and me, being the impatient person that I am, didn't spend the time researching that I should have. Will make notes on seed varieties to order. Even my bok choy is bolting. Sheesh.
