Flourishing

I received my delivery March of 2023 and was delayed about a week in getting them planted. I put them in a container with some soil and a partially cocked lid. I was worried I let them dry out too much but they rooted and took off.

The pick is from that same spring, I didn't harvest any root but we made some "cabbage roll" type things with the leaves.

The next year (this last fall) it was even more prolific. I did harvest some root that fall but it didn't have much kick. Some of the recommendations I've read said it might want less water in the summer - so we'll transplant a bit to a less tended part of the yard and see how that goes.

Also there were recommendations to consider a container to reduce spread. I had it in a corner of a raised bed so though "nah, it'll be fine"- I did have it popping p like 18 inches down and 6 feet over in a different bed so... potentially good advice to follow xD

Seattle horseradish

Planted in grow bags 3/16 and put outside. Cold but not quite freezing Seattle weather. First sprout appeared 4/3. It took a few weeks, but they all sprouted and are flourishing.

Armoracia rusticana Horseradish, believed to be a native of east-central Europe, was considered a drug before it became a condiment. This strong pepper root was used to quiet persistent coughs from influenza, stimulate the nervous system, and even cure scurvy. Modern science has identified a multitude of beneficial phytochemical and antioxidant compounds as well as minerals in the rhizomes. Plant this vigorous perennial crop for years of harvests.

Culture
This pungent, deep-rooted perennial is one of the easiest garden vegetables to grow. It prefers well-dug soil rich in organic matter. It also spreads easily, so you may want to isolate it. Apply 1-1 1/2 pounds of TSC's Complete fertilizer per 20 square feet. Mix the fertilizer into the top 3-4 inches of soil. Dig a shallow trench and place the roots in the trench horizontally, spacing them 1-2 feet apart and cover with 2 inches of soil. You'll harvest larger roots if the plants are kept well watered throughout the summer.

Insects & Diseases
None that we know of. Contact your county extension agent with specific questions.

Harvest & Storage
Dig the roots in the fall after the tops have frosted and replant some of the smaller roots. Harvest the larger roots for use in the kitchen. Store the harvested roots in the refrigerator in a plastic bag. Wash, trim, and grate. Add vinegar or lemon juice to keep the chopped root from turning brown.
