Dud radishes
« on: August 14, 2006, 16:46 »
My radishes produce plenty of leaf (treat like spinach, delicious), but very few 'radishes'.  My thoughts:

Too little organic matter; too little water; planted too close together.

Any other ideas?

All of the above!  Radishes like cooler weather, loose soil and regular moisture. :)
Never underestimate the power of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person's life.

How's the fleabettle doing? With all that leaf must be having a lovely time!
Keep the plot cultivated, that's the best way to ensure its future.

Is that what leaves the little holes in all the leaves in my garden?  Quite well then, thank you.  That's what keeps the Blue tits and robins happy.  I also have a pair of Thrushes, wrens, multitudinous black birds, too many magpies, even a jay, the odd sparrow, wood pigeons a-plenty (ask my cabbages).  And all this less than a mile from Tower Bridge!
