So I thought I really ought to have a small patch of it growing in my garden .
I found someone selling it on Ebay . Put in my order and today here it is . My favourite kind of parcel !
Just look at those gorgeous roots !
Gorgeous roots and some sturdy looking shoots !
I got them potted up straight away and then into the greenhouse .
🐎🌿🐎Now what I need is a good Horseradish Sauce recipe 🐎🌿🐎
We are having coldish weather this week . So I think I'll just bring them on for a bit in here and put them out when they've got their roots down and when I can see some signs of growth .
I gave them a little water , not too much .
Also gave a drop of water to the Geranium Maderense plants . I am so glad that I held back a few in the shelter of the greenhouse .The ones I planted out , firstly got nibbled by the bunnies and then were finished off by those angry scorching gales of Storm Eowyn .
I need to replant my Lavender plants for the same reason . They really did not enjoy all the recent storms .
When I plant these out , this time , I will surround the bed with chicken wire .
🌿🌿🌿
It is the first time in a very long time that I have done anything in the greenhouse .
I took a look around . All the Epiphyllums look very dry , but that's o.k. They will be fine for a little bit longer .
Dioscorea elephantipes - the Elephant's Foot plant has sprung into life . I gave them each a little drop of water .
That's a Euphorbia cactus thing growing in with it . Shouldn't be in with it really ! They were just some pieces that had dropped off of the mother plant and I had just laid them there for the time being .
Forgotten and now they have taken root .
Maybe I will start bringing all the plants back into the greenhouse .
Just a few at a time .... maybe .... slowly bring the love back in .

I grew horse radish last year, I am storing the roots for now, they were very easy to grow.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to grow it in a tub for a while , just to see how fast it grows to begin with . The leaves look worryingly similar to Dock leaves , but it has really beautiful white flowers .
DeleteNot a fan of horseradish. I love lavender plants though, we have one.
ReplyDeleteHi there Bill ! Yes , I agree . If I could only have one plant in my garden , it would be lovely Lavender 💜🌿 ☀️
DeleteYou will have done your research, but if horseradish likes the conditions it can send spindly roots in all directions, The skill is to develop a thick taproot. Old folk suggest working a stick in the soil around it to break off these spaghetti roots. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteHello Mal , Ooh ! That's a very interesting and useful bit of information . I will remember that .Thankyou ever so much ! 🌧️☀️🌿
DeleteWe have some horseradish at the allotment. It's a thug and spreads vigorously. If you can sink it in a large pot to contain it . Leave a lip protruding out of the ground and cut off any roots/thongs making a break forOnce established it's almost impossible to remove it.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness ! 😱 Thankyou ever so much for that bit of advice !
