And beet are doing the same. I thinned the beets small

Yellowing seedlings is a sure sign of over-watering. Slow growth in seedlings is usually a result of over-watering (root rot) too. Plus you have all that wood chip stuff in the soil that can bind up N and the problem with containers is the nutrients leach out every time you water.

So either scratch a small amount of some granular fertilizer into the soil surface or give them a very mild, diluted to 1/2 strength liquid fertilizer feeding next time they actually need water to perk them up. Then watch them green up.

Don't go over-board with feeding as neither like much nitrogen.

To help figure out what is happening, explain what you did with these plants. These are not plants that you would want to transplant. The seeds are best planted in actual soil and left undisturbed.

I agree with Dave.
In addition, why wouldn't you just direct sow radishes? They are perhaps the fastest to germinate.

If I were you I would just sow more seeds directly. It is ok to sow thightly. You can always thin them when the grow true leaves.

Pick up some of the mulch and give them time. The radishes look like they want to grow. They may be slow right now because the seedling leaves got a bit of sun damage.

I have transplanted beets before, and they never caught up with the direct seeded plants. Never tried transplanting radishes because they grow so fast when sown in beds.

I didn't transplant then. I put in a bunch of seeds. Then dug down underneath the roots and gently moved them to new spots. So I guess it kind of is transplanting.

The wood chip is coming from the 5 inches of compost I added to the top of all of all my beds. It seems like after it settles and been watered that the wood chip is left on top. Is that bad compost if it has a lot of wood chip in it????

Here's a few better pics. The first pics are in containers and dig them up earlier than the ones in the second pic. I thought as they were small to keep them constantly moist so I def overwatered them the first week.

The soil is moist less a inch down in all raised beds and containers but I have watered in over 3 days. Should I just let it dry completely before watering them again?

Ok. IMO
1- The compost is too coarse....
2- You need to screen it for vegetables beds...
3- You should mix some garden topsoil with it...
4- because of the nature of compost(which looks like wood chips here) to absorbs most of you are trying to feed your plants, therefor they are not getting nutrients.

5- because of 2 and 3 above , the roots have nothing to cling on and contintus to draw nutriens.
6- by screening the compost, adding some topsoil, you can grow things in it .

Root vegies , like radishes actually like a little bit clayish soil. Have you notice sometimes that there is mud on radishes you bought from store ?

That's not good at all considering I have this mixed very well into all my raised beds and containers I'm about time to plan everything.

At this point there isn't much I can D0?

Can I just keep adding organic frets this season then next season get some very good soil and compost from a different place ?

Root vegetables don't like any disturbance. Radishes, fortunately, grow quickly. You have time for several succession plantings.

Trying to grow in a pot and using only organics and growing in a raised bed using only organics are 2 entirely different things and have been discussed here in great depth many times..

Assuming your raised beds contain some soil as they should then they at least have the beginning of a soil micro-herd that will let compost and organic fertilizers work to supply nutrients. How well they will work all depends on how well develop the soil bacterial herd is.

In a container, which presumably contains soil-less potting mix as it is supposed to and if it doesn't then you have a whole other set of problems - there is no micro-herd, no soil bacteria to convert compost and other powder/granular organics to nutrients. Liquid organics will work.

Further you don't move/transplant/or disturb root crops once planted. So in a round container you do not seed in rows. In fact in most any container you do not seed in rows. it just wastes space and encourages you to over-seed. You plant seeds using proper spacing to begin with in a circular fashion using the entire surface of the pot. Then you thin, not transplant, as needed.

Compost is normally mixed in with the soil in a garden bed, not layered on top. Compost's best use in a pot is as a mulch only AFTER the plants are well established.

You have time to start over and do it right this time with most all these containers you have been posting about. meanwhile if you only want to use organic fertilizers in both places - pots and beds - buy one of the many good organic liquid fertilizers available and use it, following label directions, to feed all your plants.

IMO you have bitten off way more than you will be able to chew much less swallow this year and it is going to create constant problems for you. Which is why I and others have encouraged you to slow down and learn before the fact, not after. But what's done is done so accept that this year is going to be a struggling learning curve for you and plan accordingly.

Thanks for all the criticism and advice. I'm trying to grow as much possible so that I can use as much as possible for the restaurant.

I'm going to dump all the containers and add in a potting mix.
Any recommendations?

Now the main focus is getting the soil correct and learning the correct way to water and care for vegetables.

I'd like to buy a liquid organic fertilizer any recommendations ?

Thanks again
