Radish for Four?

Just had another peep at your wesite LoL. Lovely pix.
Mira, why sew the radish when the moon is decreasing? Can't quite see the logic.

The moon has an ellittic orbit, which means its distance from the Earth varies.
The moonlight has no light of its own, but it absorbs solar rays and then reflects them on the Earth, but they are not less powerful than the rays coming directly from the sun.
"Moon rays" help plants to develop and seeds to sprouts and they penetrate the Earth deeper than sun rays.
So therefore in some days during the months the rays are more in favour of what grows underneath the earth surface, and in some other what grows on top.
I don't suggest by any means that this is what caused the radishes to be leggy. After all the sun rays are supposed to work as well!
Certainly not enough space between them as Dave W said would not allow them to develop properly.
