My radish plants still have flowers on the leaves, so when do I pick them?
Your Radish plants have bolted or gone to seed.
This can happen when the weather warms, as Radish are a cool weather crop.
Harvesting should be done before the plants flower.
The links below will refresh you on the care requirements.

When I'm picking my fresh radishes out of my garden. I get these little tiny neon yellow looking bugs all over my hands and arms. Do you know what they and how to get rid of them? Please HELP!
There are many beetles or bugs that can match your description.
You could take the bug to your nearest County Extension Office or upload and image here.
Neem Oil is a good organic treatment for most sucking insects.
Here is some links with more information.

What can I do with all the beautiful greens from my black radish plants? Thanks.
Some people like to cook and eat radish greens- they're supposed to be good in stir fries and soups. The leaves of some varieties can be prickly, though.

Another option if you don't want to eat the roots, or they've become overgrown, is to let the radish plant continue growing and harvest the pods- they're delicious fresh or cooked:

Seeds come up and get small leaves. Planted 14/18 days ago. They stop growing and the leaves turn a dark red. The soil is moist, the ph is 7, the soil was from a nursery. What am I doing wrong? This happened both in my fall garden and now again this summer, tomatoes, potatoes, peppers cucumbers and beans all growing. I have drip irrigation on everything but the radishes, have soaker hose on them.
A phosphorus deficiency could cause red leaves, and various nutrient deficiencies could cause stunted growth. If the weather is cold, it could also cause seedlings to turn red and grow very slowly. You could try adding some compost. Also make sure they are not planted too close together.
My radish plants are going to seed. Is this normal?
Warm weather can make your Radish bolt or go to seed.
Radish prefer to grow in cool weather.

What am l doing wrong. For the past few years my radishes will not grow bulbs.
This could be due to hot weather or even too much nitrogen in the soil.
Here is an article with more information on this issue.

This year I did some above ground planting in garden boxes (for the first time). I used soil from the tilled garden and some extra homemade compost (manure, hay, bark etc) which I've always used and have had a thriving garden. This year, however, every single one of my radishes were wormy and non-edible; unless, of course, you're a worm. Discouraged, I've pulled them and am finding myself leary to try again (I really like those boxes!) and thinking about putting them in the ground instead. What's with those worms anyway and how can I prevent them from worming their way in to my precious radishes again?
This could have been root maggots eating your Radish.
