Gone But Not Forgotten
Last year I planted, carrots, potatoes, rutabeggies (sp) radishes and some other junk my wife wanted.
The rutabeggies were so hot that you could not eat them, the radishes about the same thing, the carrots only got a 1/2" long and the potatoes came in bunches but had a bad bitter after taste to them. And my wife being the person she is told pretty much everything I did wrong. I did not water them enough, I put fertilizer on.
So this year I pretty much kept the sprinkler on just about every day for a couple of hours at least, one of our gardens is in a low spot so water does not run off, so plenty of water this year, I only put fertilizer on once and my radishes are hotter than a pistol and sneaking some potatoes out of the potatoe plants I have this bitter taste again this year. Is there something in the soil or does any of you guys have an idea to what is causing this?
