i planted a 10ft x 25ft bed full of radishes today. ended up being around a 1/8 pound of cherry belles and some easter egg radishes. im going to be over run with them. im planting onions, potatoes, turnips, cabbage, and rutabagas thursday.
just give them time. they look good to me. some batches are just slower than others. ive ben starting all my seeds indoors for 3 years now. some of my tomatoes are already around a foot tall now.
shot me an email at [email protected]. if your interested in some of the pumpkin seeds. as far as the soil goes. i just added compost to the ground in the fall. i didnt even fertilize it.
remember that these plants take up alot of space per plant.
big macs need a 15ft x 15ft of space while the atlantic giants need 25ft x 25ft of space per plant.
