I was in the garden today talking with James about my radish crop. I'll try to post a picture, but they were measly and didn't bulb. They were in for twice as much time as the packet indicated (50 days instead of 25).
So...what went wrong?
A little researched turned up that my soil was too rich with nitrogen and probably low on potassium. Radishes like just the opposite--low nitrogen and high potassium.
This explains why one of James's radishes (that I had given him) did beautifully on the top leaves but produced a smallish radish.
Mystery solved!
