**Harvest of inbred varieties**

The winter has so far been wet and grey, but only very little frost. Like a prolonged fall. So I let the radishes stay in the ground.

Now I didnt want to wait longer and expect January frosts would kill them. Will overwinter them in the shed with my [beets](https://goingtoseed.discourse.group/t/long-colorful-beets-for-flavor/4331), [carrots](https://goingtoseed.discourse.group/t/large-carrots-for-cooking/4290) and a bit of TPS.

As you can see, they are pretty tiny. As with all my crops in my new field, they are growing with lots of weed competition and low nutrients. Some of them are pretty long though (albeit thin), which is promising. I think My soil lends well to long rootcrops.
