Beets and and radishes are darn hard to grow

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! --S. Soft soil, plenty of P & K, and no litter in the bed before plants come up. Charlie was bragging on his French breakfast radishes last year, so I tried them and they are growing fine. That enough variables for you? -- - Billy "For the first time in the history of the world, every human being is now subjected to contact with dangerous chemicals, from the moment of conception until death." - Rachel Carson http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=En2TzBE0lp4 http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1050688.html |
