Land was used for pigs, then a garden, now a lawn - owners never used

the
horseradish - but its still there - popping up in their nice smooth

lawn -
over and over - every year.

So, that brings a thought to mind... I'm trying to find a garden plant
that gophers won't destroy. Would horseradish be a good candidate, or is
this the meeting of the irresistible force and the immovable object?


Don't know about gophers - but the woodchucks never bothered the
horseradish. Actually they never bother much of anything in that garden.
Perhaps because the other side of the 'hedgerow' was a corn field??
