Your site is terrific. We love horseradish and have an annual horseradish party every fall. We recruit newbies every year; it has grown from my sister in law, her husband and my husband and I to a fun loving group of around a dozen. Some silly newbies volunteer each year. We now have 4 people bringing roots and all of us replant some and highly encourage the others to plant some as well. Out bed is now around 30′ by 10′ and we don’t plan on letting it get any larger. We have a carport and do it there, everyone has their same job year after year. Last year we put up around 140 pints. It is always gone before it is time to make more.
Keep up the good work.

My mom used the threat of having to grate horseradish as a discipline tool!! Never mind, I love the stuff—yes, beef, kielbasa, in cocktail sauce, and best of all in applesauce! (oh no she dinnit [snap]).

Grow horseradish??? I always thought it just came in a jar?? j/k but I didn’t know it was so unfussy. Let us know how it turns out, Suzanne. I love me some fresh horseradish! Funny, I made some from a fresh root many years ago, and I didn’t tear up like I thought I would. I wonder if it was just a mild one or if I’m immune to its pungency…

I adore horseradish. I put it in all kinds of sauces, on meat, in my potato salad etc. It jazzes up lots of things.

I do not like horseradish! But my bf and dad love it. My bf says fresh is WAY better then store bought. But he says when you go to grind it up, do that outside with a breeze…or actually, what he said was do it on a day with the wind blowing towards your worst enemy. He said it is VERY strong smelling while grinding. I believe it. LOL
