I think all of us have had lettuce bolt to seed when we didn't want it

supply coming. But for what it's worth now, you can stir-fry the seed pods
your present radishes are setting. Radishes are supposed to be pullable
about 25 days from planting. You can't really cut them back or stop them
from flowering/going to seed. You can do that with basil, but most things
won't be deterred. Margaret L
