I guess that applies to me. For years, I have planted radishes -- in various
times, in various depths, in various locations. I follow the directions on
the packet to the Nth degree. No matter where or when I plant, I only get
spindly stems -- never a radish.

As I recall, kids in the fifth grade plant radish seed as their science
project, and often are successful.

Am I doing something wrong, or am I just crazy?
Radishes are a cool-season crop and do not do well in the hot summer months.radishes will thrive in pots, small corners and between larger plants. They are ready in around 8 weeks and will often hold for a few weeks in the ground before harvesting.
