I SUPPOSE this could be the shortest column I’ve ever written. How to grow horseradish: stick it in the ground. Goodnight, see you next month.
But given horseradish’s status as one of Britain’s two great sauces (the other being mustard), I feel it deserves a bit more attention than that. March is a good time to plant the lengths of root known confusingly as “thongs” from which the plant is propagated.
If you need to start by buying roots, then do shop around. I’ve just had a quick look online and found prices ranging from £2 to £12. If you know someone who’s got a well-established horseradish patch ask them to dig you up a few bits of the root, and use those. Horseradish can, notoriously, grow from any lump of root left in the ground, so getting a new plant going is rarely difficult.
