Horseradish & Taters

[meat hunter]

Hello all, Todd here in Minnesota. Couple of questions for you. First off, where does one usually find horseradish to plant? I can't say I ever seen our local nursery carry that. Also, after established, how long before your should harvest it? Second, smoking potato's. When you do this, you leave them whole or cut in half or what? How long does it usually take before they are done? Thanks

todd, if your local nursery dont have it, which it prolly does. find in fridge with asparagus roots etc.... or you can get it mail order from any of the seed outlets, ie jungs, gurneys, and many more. just to caution you on horseradish, do not plant in your garden or any other spot where you may care if it spreads. because it does bigtime!!!!

Our farmers co-op carries it-not gonna help you much, but they leave the root out for a few weeks in bushel bakets until sold.I planted a bunch and it took 2-3 years for it to get big like a cucumber-other wise it was size of small carrot and there wasnt much to grate etc.This stuff is super-hardy- so enjoy.

And don't try to 'cut it back' with a lawn mower!!!!
