This is THE BIG DIFFICULT: you never know in advance what the weather will be. What works well one year does not work the same the following year. Hence my aversion to "ready-made recipes". Apart from the fact that they numb fears like Doliprane crushes pain, they are necessarily an "average" ...

To come back to cultures that intersect, we have to tell ourselves that without that, we would have only one anyway. It is better to have one + a little failed! A little extra radish ... Well, when too many radishes choke the carrots, that's another thing - then it's a matter of helping out with the sowing (the difficulty, there, is to imagine that each seed is potentially a radish 2 cm in diameter; without imagining, everyone puts at least 5 times too much!).

Ok, there I understood your approach. You leave them in boxes until you get the bulbils, right? I'll see if I don't try this year's sachet bottoms, since the year after that doesn't lift well. And that's for sure, planting bulbils is easier than sowing in the ground.

be careful because we harvest green, and therefore they should not be harvested too big, in fact smaller than what you are going to plant, because the bulb still grows when drying, it takes at least 3 weeks for the foliage to turn yellow and therefore the bulb still feeds during this period and therefore it grows

Hence my preference for boxes, I don't yet have a greenhouse or a frame, we can "control" the weather a little more, or at least suffer it a little less.
smaller land means not too much space so I can transplant rather than sow, although sometimes broadcast sowing is really fast and efficient, I forget the notion of row or row in general

Eh yes ! They even have to be harvested as small as possible, around 15/17 mm in diameter (from memory). The larger the bulb, the more sensitive we will be to the vernalization of the plants they form!

If they sell us bigger ones anyway, it's just marketing. After sorting, it is better to dispose of everything. But in a store, always take the little ones! In addition, for the same weight, you will have more!


Another counterintuitive thing.

Courage.

It reminds me of my difficult times, when I sat in the vegetable garden in a contemplative / meditative mode...

It's sure, hosto and house are not the same. If it went well, that's the main thing for now, rest well, good luck to you
