I always plant some of my 'underground' vegetables' and 'above-ground' vegetables in rows together. Radishes will flourish perfectly well with lettuce, for example. You just need to take a little extra care when thinning both of them, or when harvesting the radish so you do not dislodge the roots of the plants left in the row. I don't mix all vegetables up like this. Potatoes, for instance get their own space. A little tip regarding thinning - save what you pull and eat as microgreens. The small shoots are bursting with flavour and nutrients. Living on a farm, we have plenty of garden space but not as much time to look after a large garden plot.
