Well, theoretically it is spring and the snow we had on Tuesday and Wednesday has melted, so I have resumed my search for fresh horseradish to dig. My father-in-law had a secret patch that he would visit every year and bring some for us to grind, but the farmer's spraying with roundup appears to have done it in. We have been planting some for the last few years and will, as a last resort, use some of our roots, I just wanted to let them get better established.
My question is, does anyone know if I dig the root, cut off the top and stick it back in the ground, will it start to root again? I am probably going to try this, I just wanted to know if it was going to be a waste of time and I should just buy some more roots from Agway.
