Why Can't I Grow Radishes?

[Spade]

My parents could grow radishes. My grandparents could grow radishes. I try to grow radishes. When I place the seeds in the ground, they germinate, grow into leafy sonsofbitches, but they don't have a radish root. Please help! Reward offered.

Try smoking the leaves.

Perhaps. I've even tried their flowers in salads, but somehow that is less than satisfactory.

Are they beaming my plump radishes up along with cattle unmentionables?

have you tried giving it another 30 days?

right

Can't be the devil. I've stolen holy water from the font in the local Catholic church. Still no frigging luck!

 

[55Mercury]

if you're watering them with holy water that could be the problem!

Mine do the same spade....if you solve it let me know

God knows where it's been!

It'll take more than daze to right this misery.

for that you may need to resort to taxslave's solution.

You planted too late. Plant radishes in late April and you'll get big ones. They don't like the heat.

I'm desparate. Thinking of night soil.

My first planting was in mid April. Should I grow them in the fridge?

Radishes don't like you they whisper about you from the other side of
their leaf. Water them and water them, once they are just above ground
put 10 52 10 on them its a root enhancer.

grumpy is right about ferts but ferts can end up just being useless salts without proper soil pH.

Perhaps they fear I'll salt the little buggars and eat them! Will take your fetilizer advice next year. This year I used sheep shiit; the peas love it!

Radishes like an alkaline soil?
