There's a definition of insanity: Doing the same thing over and over,
expecting a different result.

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?
