That's kind of funny as I have the same problem w/ cucumbers, which should
be SO easy to grow. Every time I try they just konk out on me w/ very
little production. Yeah, I should probably check my soil, but everything
else grows like gangbusters.

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!
