We haven't done any of the 'root' vegetables but one thing I did last year might also explain what happened to your 'top' growth... we decided that we wanted a 'raised bed' garden so I went out and bought material to build it and then I filled it with potting soil from Home Depot.
Well, what happened is that we had some of the tallest tomato plants I had ever seen but not too many tomatoes. Turns out that I bought the soil that was designed for flowers and not vegetables. I didn't even know that there was a difference but I do now.
I probably won't go out and buy an almanac but if you do, and get some good tips, I'll receive advice from a brother! <grin>
Blessings,
William
