Why Radishes Grow Tops But No Roots

Common Causes and Fixes

• Too much nitrogen fertilizer
• Insufficient sunlight
• Wrong variety (use spring types: ‘Cherry Belle’, ‘Burpee White’, ‘Icicle’)
• Overcrowding – thin to 1–2 inches apart
• Inconsistent moisture

Plant mid‑ to late February, ½ inch deep, ½ inch apart. Succession sow every 2 weeks until mid‑April.
