While this plant might look like a gigantic weed, it’s actually horseradish. The Cambria County plant sale was offering horseradish this year and I thought it might be fun to try.
It’s not like we eat a ton of horseradish, but we do go through a few jars a year. I’ve read some interesting things about the processing of the horseradish roots, so that should be a fun adventure this fall.
Horseradish is very invasive, so that is why it is in a pot and not in the vegetable or herb garden. Basically, I don’t do anything to it but water it once in a while (and I haven’t had to do much of that with all the rain we have been getting. Too bad all of my plants don’t grow like this.
