I was shopping at the health-food store today and was amused to see that they were selling organic local horseradish root for $6 a pound. The idea of selling horseradish root, much less for $6 A POUND, is an entertaining one, given the struggle I had eradicating it from the garden.
Years ago I accepted some horseradish roots from a Kennett Township friend's garden, although she warned me how tenacious it can be. She was, of course, right. It flourished and even won prizes at the Unionville Community Fair, but it soon tried to take over the garden. I still see stubborn shoots coming up every spring.
