Help...

My tomatoes and peppers are doing great, but my radishes are all tops.

The radishes have been in for 30 days. They’ve produced exactly two dinner candidates...

Some causes for leafy tops and no roots:

Unseasonable weather for the variety planted
Extreme Crowding
Planting too late
Too much shade

That’s the extent of my knowledge on radishes.

It sounds like too much, or high nitrogen in the soil.
Consider subsequent plantings of leafey greens (lettuces, brocolli , kohlrobbi, kale, etc. ) as you harvest the radishes, or thin them out .
