    So I sowed red radish about three weeks ago, and leaves are crazy long at nearly two feet, but the roots are barely a quarter-inch across!

    Is my soil too rich?

    Too much nitrogen?

    Excess something or lacking something?

    Thanks for your helpk

    There’s a saying isn’t there… “Sow thick, reap thin” ?

    Maybe you planted them too close to each other? Did you leave enough space between seeds?

    From my experience it means the soil is somehow too rich for them. You’d have a lot of success planting squash there!
