When do you pick the pods and do they need to have the gum removed before drying?
Just be sure you gather the pods before they become wet from rain. I think this article will answer most of your questions. I doubt there will be removable gumminess once they've dried completely.

Usually, this will indicate that there is too much nitrogen in the soil, and not enough phosphorus.

daikon going to seed after four weeks any common reason thanks ken
Yes, they will bolt (go to seed) at temperatures above 80 degrees. You will need to plant them when they have enough time to mature without the temperature rising above 80. This article will help you to grow them:

On the same day I planted a row of radishes, beetroot, and carrot seeds. The radishes grew a good crop but the carrots and beets germinated only one or two. The seeds all came from the same supplier and were in date. Can you suggest what went wrong?
Unfortunately, it would be hard to say without knowing the conditions of the soil, and knowing the watering habits, as well as temperatures at the time of germination. Carrots prefer the cool, and may have trouble germinating if the temperatures are too warm. Beets prefer the cool, but should still germinate in warm soil as long as it is not hot. Radishes should have no issues with that, though.
Sometimes, conditions that are too wet, or too dry will prevent germination. Too wet is usually more of an issue than too dry, though, compact soils will cause either to be a very big problem.

I feel like I always plant my radishes per the direx on the packet but once they start to get bigger, their roots don\\\'t seem to be deep enough to hold the plant leaves up. Do I need to push the dirt up around them as they grow?
This tends to happen for a few reasons. Most typically, soil with a low pH, or too much nitrogen will cause this. Test your soil and amend as necessary.

In which month it is advisable to grow specially Japanese Daikon in Texas
Your hardiness zone is 8a. Daikon radishes grow best below 80 degrees F. so your best bets are fall and spring. You could probably get a crop in now if you start right away.
