I have had a bunch of radishes going wild this year that re-seeded
from last year. All of them looked the same, with the bulbous root
and the lanky stem, the typical leaves, and the white flowers.
Until this came along:

The leaves and flowers and color are all the same as the others, but
its stem is about three times the thickness of that of any other
radish plant I have. It's so thick it's begun to crack. Is this a
mutation? The result of odd pollination? Not a radish at all?

Can you give us a picture of the radishes that you know are radishes?
That way we can compare the leaves better.
I don’t think that is a radish.
Close comparison of the leaves will tell.

I will as best I can. Cut most of them down already once they went to
seed. They were blocking a lot of light. Stay tuned...
