Hi All,
I'm new here and to gardening, but this year I have tried growing a
few vegs
on a small piece of land, which gets nice sunshine, and whilst my
onions and
potatoes havn't done to bad, things like radish, beetroot etc have
made lots
of top growth but there is nothing underneath them. Also I have
brussel
plants about 3 foot tall but no brussells as such on them. My collies
made
plenty of top but only very small hearts some of which went a funny
colour.
Could someone please tell me what or where I am going wrong with my
veg
growing.

Thanks in advance

Lofty

I am interested as to whether you have been too liberal with manure as
too much nitrogen produces top growth rather than root growth. This
site http://www.gardenaction.co.uk/beginner/feed_plants.asp explains
that quite well. If you have been over generous with manure then next
year should be good providing, of course, that you do not repeat the
fault.
