This year we have tried to grow radishes having given up years ago as we
have very stony soil.

Can anyone suggest what we might be doing wrong please.

And please tell me. I have been trying for 30 years, and succeed
(partially) about once in every 5 sowings!

I'll tell you in three weeks' time. I sowed some today for the first
time this year!

I have different problems with radishes (French Breakfast 3).

Firstly, harvesting them before they go woody. (One batch has been left
to go to seed, for next year's crop.)

Secondly, either slugs or snails eating the swollen roots.

Thirdly, hollow radishes.
