This year we have tried to grow radishes having given up years ago as
we have very stony soil.
I prepared a bed with more finely sieved soil but still with small
stones in to stop it getting waterlogged.

Can anyone suggest what we might be doing wrong please.
TIA

If it's any consolation, my radishes were similar to yours.
I grew them in a container of compost along with some spring onions,
which are also a failure.

OTOH, the Early Nantes carrots in a similar container and compost were
fine, if rather small. I'm blaming the compost, which I bought
from Morrisons, mainly because the bag was light enough to carry on my
shoulder to the till. There must be a reason why it was lighter.
