Harvested one of my 2 horseradish plants today. Split the crown into 3 divisions, and replanted those; got a decent amount of root for use as well.
I must be doing something wrong. ;-) I originally planted the roots at an angle between 30 & 45 degrees, but the roots grew straight down. Had to fork down a good 18” before they started tapering off to pencil size. Directions said to plant at about 45 degrees, and the roots would run more less horizontal.
I also found 5 feral garlic seedlings, where a bulb escaped harvest last Fall. They will join the 150-175 spring planted cloves. Might actually harvest enough this year to keep us supplied, and still have seed for next year.
Haven’t tried to raise horseradish yet. I do like a little in mayo or mustard or on beef sandwich now and then, but 1 small jar is enough for a year here. LOL
My garlic is coming along. I have more than enough left at this point, for the fall planting, and for pickles etc till then.
