1. If 2 packets of radish seeds are planted in a 6' X 12, planted what percentage of the seeds normally should produce radishes? 2. What percentage of the radishes produced normally should be 1/2'' in size or larger? 3. Assuming that the soil and sun are right, is the amount of fine loose soil above and below the seed the critical factor that determines the percentage of seeds that will become radishes 1/2'' in diameter or larger? 4. Should there be about 1'' of fine loose soil above the seeds and about 1'' below? 5. Does it matter very much if the seeds were seeds left over from the previous spring? I planted 2 packets of seeds this spring in mid March but only 1/4 to 3/8 produced radishes and only about 1/4 of the radishes were 1/2'' in diameter or larger. The seeds were seeds left over from the previous spring. I think that the reason for the poor yield was that I planted most of the seeds on compact soil and merely covered them with fine loose soil instead of having about 1'' of fine loose soil below and 1'' of fine loose soil above the seeds. Last spring, when I planted seeds in ordinary compact soil, the yield was even worse. I sent this same question to you a few days ago and received no reply.
