Freak of Nature!

So I was back in my garden today (hadn't been back there for a few days) and I decided that I'd better pull out the radishes because they were so tall that they had tipped over into my peas. Well, once I pulled them out, I got to looking at them and I realized that my beans (which never came up) had somehow cross-pollinated with my radishes! Take a look at these pics! Amazing! The roots are radish and the tops are small beans! So, should I taste a bean (Trent's suggestion) and see what they taste like? They're not full grown beans, so they're probably not very good...but hey...

In the meantime, at the advice of my neighbor, Chad, I stuck them in my fridge and will try and get over to the USU extension office with them tomorrow!
