Radish?

[rachunter]

What kind of radish is this? I only know the red round ones in Salads. These where in a bag of throw and grow the deer and bear love them. I’d like to plant them next year without the grass that’s in the throw and grow.

Daikon - common in the plot salad mixes

Animals love 'em, and humans too.

Don't shoot the humans.

My first year planting as well. I have radishes at least 18 inches. Tops are gone but my question is when does the radish itself become palatable? Turnips seem to be rotten, I would assume they won't be appealing.

I don't believe there is a set time that deer like them best.  Sometimes they chew on mine in November.  Sometimes they wait until March.  

It sounds like your turnips got really WET.  I don't imagine the deer will like them.  Maybe if they were hungry enough.

Daikon Radish. I use them in my bulb mixes every year. They will rot before your turnips will. Turnip is a bit more hardy. My deer have been eating them for a couple weeks now. But the bulb is perfect for cold weather foods

Here are a few pics from my plot. Are the red ones beets? It was whitetail institute beets and greens.

Yes. Beets. Typically they forage on the leaves this time of year then after a freeze they start digging up the beets

They were pounding this plot when the green stems shot up but now they seemed to lose interest. Had up to 11 at a time in there. Hope they return.

I once put in radishes and some leafy greens and had 200 pictures of Bionic in my food plot.   Even electric fencing it off wouldnt keep him out of there.

they can and will be used at any time mine get eaten as soon as they emerge , bulbs may last a little longer but greens will be nearly gone by end of oct. amd this is on a 2 acre plot.

I guess I'll wait and see.  Crossbow this weekend!

I thought that was a buck scrape!  Damn it!

The Red Purple one has more of a radish leaf on it. Wonder if the white radish could mix with the turnip to produce that color? 

They also make a great spicy cold slaw.
