This can occur for several reasons. Most likely is that it may be getting too warm too fast for them. They start to bolt before a proper root forms.

It may also be that the soil is too hard. Or there may be a lack of phosphorous in the soil as well.

Have your soil tested and try to plant them during the coolest weather they can tolerate.
