You'll be sorry about that..........


Out of interest, is that based on your experience? *Umpteen years ago I
dug up some horseradish and tried to grow it some in pots. *It didn't do
at all well. * Maybe it was too dry.

I can't say that I've seen it when walking in the country. *Its large
leaves are very noticeable; I doubt that I'd miss it or think it was
something else.

Looks a bit like dock leaves. Roots are quite different.
Tiniest bit of root will grown in my experience.
