I had really leggy beetroot last year and couldn't bring myself to chuck them away and start again. I potted them on and planted them deep and they were absolutely fine :)

Been reading about micro greens (kitchen Garden afew months ago) you eat them for the stems . any thing that has edible leaves. thought I would use up any seeds that are left over instead of hoarding the until they are useless
(found fresh seed grows best in most cases) and who needs a full packet of PSB. also snap up cheap seeds as they don,t grow bigger then cress
just thought ,you could do this with beetroot possibly not with radish
