I find they don’t enjoy being multisown in the way that turnip or beetroot do. If you search the forum, there’s this post from 2014 where Charles suggests limiting them to two per clump https://forum.charlesdowding.co.uk/forums/topic/multisowing-kohl-rabi/
It is a brassica. Some people lump roots together regardless of family but radishes are member of the Brassicaceae family and definitelly not Fabaceae (legumes).

Look for Indian tomato varieties, flavoursome but sour and not too sweet. ‘Surender’s Indian Curry’ is one name worth looking for. For lettuces, there’s a old variety called ‘Black-seeded Simpson’ that’s widely available and has a good flavour. ‘Reine de Glaces’, ‘Jabeque’ and ‘Maravilla de Verano’ (or ‘Maravilla de Verano Canasta’) all work for me too, but much depends on your soil and your personal tastes. ‘Kelvedon Wonder’ is a trustworthy standby for a pea to sow this early in the year, though you might want to sow indoors depending on the weather where you are. In March I’ll probably do ‘Havel’ too, but climbing peas make better use of my limited space.
They look lovely and I wish you good luck getting hold of some! I wish they sold something like that here. Finding a strong reuseable tray more than 5.5cm deep and with 30 to 80 modules in a decent size is near impossible here. Most of what they sell to home gardeners is only 24 cells, or too shallow, or too flimsy.
