Have you ever tried growing horseradish? I am curious because I tried to grow it here in FL but maybe the soil around here is too sandy. I live near Tampa. What are your experiences?

I grow me some horseradish here in central Illinois. Once it starts it’s hard to get rid of so plant it outside the normal garden grounds. The first year the roots were still pencil-thin. Then again, we had very little rain that year. By the second year you should get some. I just broke it in half and stuck the unused portion back in the dirt mound and it comes up next season in its own. Grind it outside unless you want your family to hate you. Best with fried taters & onions.

I havent tried but curious also. I cut off the top of a Daikon radish - the large white radish, and have it in water to see if it will grow roots, if nothing else to grow the greens to cook or juice with.
