For some reason, I CANNOT grow radishes or beets to save my life. I always
thought radishes were an idiot's delight, growing fast and big for even the
blackest thumb. But after two months, my radishes still weren't very big.
The beets never filled out either--they sprouted and then just sat there for
months until I finally pulled them up and threw them away so I could grow
something else there. I gave them a lot of water, and the soil is very
loose, so I just don't get it.

I am not asking for advice, since I don't really like radishes or beets
anyway, but I thought it was funny how miserably they grow for me!

Soft soil, plenty of P & K, and no litter in the bed before plants come
up. Charlie was bragging on his French breakfast radishes last year, so
I tried them and they are growing fine. That enough variables for you?
