Just a word of caution if you haven't grown horseradish before.....it can easily take over!!! So put it where you can control it. When you go to harvest it, make sure you get ALL of the root out!!! Even a small piece left in place will take over in no time.
I grew it for a few years, and then FOUGHT it for several years after that! Just when I thought that I had dug it all, and won the war......it popped up somewhere else!
So just be vigilant and cautious!!!
