That's pretty advanced plantsmanship.

I've got a little garden with all kinds of things sunken in containers - oregano, mint, etc. The container is a great idea.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04232693432045335251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1947997585334958395.post-66427109219339918132011-04-21T13:47:59.564-04:002011-04-21T13:47:59.564-04:00Fantastic!

My husband makes an excellent vinaigrette with grated horseradish and he also has some horseradish - creme fraiche - based thing he whips up that makes a great sauce for lots of things, or a great dip too.<br /><br />I will be eager to hear how these grow for you, especially the little skinny ones. It's very exciting!<br /><br />I know Chelsea Garden Center in Red Hook has half wine barrels for sale, but I don't know how much they are...I imagine they are pretty spendy, but it may be worth a call to find out. Our barrels are so sturdy and will last for years, I'm sure. If you get some, I recommend putting casters on the bottoms so that you can move those beasts around if necessary!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1947997585334958395.post-62980197541286692072011-04-21T13:16:17.067-04:002011-04-21T13:16:17.067-04:00I planted ours in a pot and they still escaped.

The ones I got from my mom were just the crowns, like what you cut off carrots. I planted them and they grew great! With roots as large as yours, they might grow faster when left undisturbed. Mine was two years old when I harvested it. The leaves were over 3 feet high and looked pretty nice as a foliage plant. Whatever you end up with, make sure it has a wide base so it won't tip over in the wind in case your's grows tall like mine did. Happy gardening!Veggie PAKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13250455377130668508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1947997585334958395.post-55186028204446927912011-04-21T08:57:14.239-04:002011-04-21T08:57:14.239-04:00I don't like horse radish.
