Growing Radishes?

I had the same problem. I would wind up with small, spindly, straight, red-colored roots instead of a nice round bulb (even though the leaves looked fantastic). I take great care now to make sure that I plant my Cherry Belle radish seeds at the recommended one-half inch depth. When I first started growing radishes I didn't pay any attention to planting depth and I am sure that I was planting them too shallow. Planting at 1/2 inch seems to have solved the problem for me. I have read posts from other growers that say planting too deep can also be a problem, so I actually go out to my garden with a ruler to make sure that I am as close to one-half inch as I can get.

Radishes need to grow rapidly in cool rainy weather in order to produce a good tasty tender root bulb. Overcrowding is a continual problem. I recommend growing them in the "wide row" method with the seeds scattered sparcely in a row that is 12-18 inches in width. The soil needs to be loose, such as being high in either sand or compost content, or both, with a relatively high pH, so adding some lime or crushed limestone will also help. Finally, some higher nitrogen lawn type fertilizer used sparingly will really accelerate their growth. And water them a little on every day that it doesn't rain.

Good luck

Maybe you just didn't wait long enough. If you still have the seed packet, see if it says how many days it should take to grow them.
