Radish Problem: All leaves no radishes
I sowed seed directly in to compost in big pots well over a month ago,
but the plants have only produced a profusion of leaves and no radish. They have also started to produce flower buds too! What have I done wrong? Is it perhaps that I didn't thin them out enough? I've read that you can eat the leaves, so maybe I'll have to give up on the radishes themselves. |

The best radishes I've ever grown were in old tire plant pots filled with garden soil, stuck under a tree and not watered very much. It amazed me they grew at all. -- http://www.freedeliveryuk.co.uk http://www.holidayunder100.co.uk |

Did you thined them down a bit - they like a lot of room to form their delicious roots (I usually eat there and then the ones I pull out). They need watering well - once they dry out they don't cope so well. But you can try again, don't give up - I'm just about to sow some - you can do this until end of June for some radish end of summer. Don't let them go dry, ever. |
