Need spicy/hot horseradish

[Karen Andersen]

We planted horseradish last year and dug it up this year and it was really mild. Don’t know the variety that we had. Does anyone have a hot and spicy horseradish root we can have?

Hi Karen,

You may like to try some of mine, also just a common horseradish. Following this advice from Johnny’s catalogue, I’d wait until after a freeze:

“Horseradish root can be harvested in late fall or early spring — dug in the fall after a hard frost for a sweeter flavor, or before the plant leafs out in the spring for maximum pungency.”
