I can't grow horseradish here in Florida; too warm. But, when I lived in the state of Maryland, I planted a single piece of horseradish left over from my Passover Seder Plate. I just dug a small hole and covered it over... Much to my surprise, by the time the bush was about 3 feet tall, it was covered by the most beautiful white, sweet smelling flowers on every branch... Eventually I dug up 2 pieces of horse-radish in November and had the hottest radish of my life time. Never tried it again, but moved to Florida with little space on my property for any vegetable gardens. Do I ever miss my gardens, but now have lettuce, arugula, radishes and cucumbers growning in the old recycle bins. I am 91 and still planting when necessary.
