Radishes growing slowly...

Summer_Squash
9 years ago

I planted them partial/fun sun in the best part of my garden, which is also one of the coolest parts of the garden.

I planted close to 100, I think... in a fairly small space, but I thinned them out after they'd all come up; before true leaves or anything.

The leaves are actually growing quite well, but after a quick "root exam" today at the "one week until harvest" juncture, I noticed that only around 5 of the radishes are going to be ready to harvest in a week... will the rest bulb out eventually?

Another question. Most of them have small little roots that resemble a bulb, but they aren't CLOSE to big enough to eat. That's not the problem. The problem is that most of the radishes roots appear to have a split sort of thing on them. It's like a radish, with a split that has a perfectly normal radish underneath (it's not like it split, it's like it had two layers, and a part of one peeled away). Are they bolting?

Thanks, all! Mac
