Phosphorus levels are usually associated with good root development. Another possibility is that the plants are being stressed from planting them at the wrong time. Radishes prefer cooler weather for the best results and the growth of onions is affected by daylight hours or length of day issues.

Another good resource is the Master Gardener Program in your area, either of these agencies can help you to determine the ideal times for planting fruits and vegetables in your growing region.

I was wondering where I can find information about the types of crops and times of the year I should plant for where I live which is Miami, Florida. I enjoy your email's very much but I need this basic information so I can stop guessing and get to work. Thanks so much and best regards.
