Digging and Processing Horseradish

The square foot board placed under the plant makes digging the roots easy. I read about the procedure on some garden forum, and this was my first year trying it. The plant was a real joy to dig as opposed to previous years. All the processing is best done ou doors, due to the strong fumes given off by the roots.

This is how the horseradish was planted in the Fall of 2008. I treat this perennial as an annual, since I believe the roots are less fibrous, and make better condiment. Two plants are grown each year.
