Radish seeds in the same pack are not created equal, no matter what variety, they all come out at different sizes. Thinning, consistent watering and fertilization will get you the best overall crop. I just harvested the rest of my radishes the other day, got a lot of nice ones but there are always some runts. Don't want to leave them in the soil too long when the weather gets too warm, they'll turn hot and woody and go to the flower and seed stage. They are a good companion plant and don't take a lot of space so I always grow mine around the edges of some of my larger containers that I usually grow a tomato plant. No problems with boring worms like nematodes that like root crops that way too.
