Fall Planting

[jdmidwest]

You can dig horseradish in months with an r in them, so you are good. Just replant the crown and it will send out roots again next year.

Thanks to you too JD. From what I got from the link Ness gave me it takes two years before you get a good crop. So this being noted I may need another year. From what I read you can plant in a container which I did. Cannot leave in there or it will freeze solid. Now the question. Can I dig it up if not enough to use put in the storm shelter/ root cellar for the winter? Plant the crowns like you suggested next Spring? If I had better ground I would just plant in the yard.

It really does better in loose soil. I planted some in my hard clay and the biggest root was about the size of my little finger.

You can keep the crowns or the roots for that matter in the crisper till you need to plant it if you are just starting, so I guess you can do it any time. Just keep them from drying out.

I am glad this post came along, it reminded me that I need to dig mine up and replant out at the farm in a better bed.
