Vegetable ID Please

Can someone tell me what this is? It came in my radish seed pack. Everything about it, leaf structure and development was just like the rest of the radishes but this thing kept getting larger and larger dwarfing the rest of the radishes & is white in color, not light green like in the photos.

I don't plan on harvesting it but will let it go to seed just in case it's something good.

Thanks in advance.

I think it may well be a different radish. There are several different sorts. Sometimes the odd seed can find itself in the wrong packet. I had an odd one in a packet of flower seeds, and it turned out to be a Corncockle.
There is a big long radish called daicon (or something like that) and some big round ones if you look them up.

Thank you Tetters.

That looks exactly like the Japanese turnip I grow. Perhaps a rouge seed got in there. Not Daikon, IMO.

^^^I think you nailed it Meadowlark.
Thanks.

Are the leaves the same as the turnip? It will be far more interesting if it's a turnip. I had never heard of them before I read about yours @Meadowlark

Actually the leaves look identical to those of the radishes. Not so much like Meadowlark's. Although it is the shape of the bulb that looks just like his.

They use the same packaging machines on different vegetables and varieties. A different variety seed they missed got flung up into the mix and you found it. Grow it and see what it tastes like. Then wonder what it was for the rest of your life. Hehe.

^^^Will let it bolt and collect the seeds. Looks quite happy where it is so I should get plenty of seeds. Then I'll plant it and then test it and be able to ID it without too much trouble...Hehe.

Oh look, white radishes

 

[Tetters]

Ooooh...... more white radishes with leaves.

^^^ I think the mystery vegie has been solved.
What are they called?

 

[Tetters]

Afraid I haven't got a clue. We would need to look them up I think. Sorry. Meadowlark would probably know.
