If they are going to seed, don't beat 'em, join 'em. Radish pods containing the seeds taste like radishes. Whereas one plant gives you one radish, it will give you many pods.
Harvest the pods when they start to plump up. Don't wait too long or they will get woody. There is a little bit of tough stem that tends to stick to the pod; pull it off.
Give it a try!

Edited to add:I'm growing watermelon radishes this year too. I was glad to hear they're quick to bolt, as I only harvest the pods.
