It's a Brassica-like crucifer with pinkish flowers. I think that that
makes it a radish.

There are at least two different cultivars in there, I am guessing both
brassicas.  The one with the radish below the stem (dig about a bit) is the
radish (duh) the other is not.  Pull the radishes while they are smallish -
about the size of your finger or they are likely to get too woody and hot.
Many young brassica plants look the same until they start to develop their
characteristic leaf/flower pattern (cabbage, mustard, kale, cauliflower,
broccoli etc).  Try the leaves in salad they are all edible, some more
suited to salad than others.

[veggie2.jpg] is radish, bolted to flowers.  At this point, you can snip
the flowers to eat or wait for them to set pods, and harvest the young
pods (which are nice in a stir-fry).  If there are any radishes down below
they are likely small and very pithy at this point.

[veggie.jpg] is more bolted radishes, along with what could be some
kale (or possibly broccoli) struggling to compete with the radishes.

The kale/broccoli has deeper green, slightly silvered leaves with green
stems, and can be seen at the lower left corner and along the right side
of the picture.
