I planted Horseradish last year but I read differnet info on harvesting. I read you can harvest in fall and overwinter in a basement for early spring planting or harvest in early spring.
I opted for early spring since I don't have a basement and didn't want to risk killing the roots. I want to harvest it now--although it is growing quickly. I read you should harvest it when it is less than 8 inches high.
Do you harevst a particular part? Do you replant the tip and keep the root closest to the top, or keep younger ends and replant the crown?
I just read that roots in the ground 2+years are stringy/woody. This confused me. What do you do to prevent that if you harvest and replant in Spring? Or does harvesting part of it avoid the stirnginess?
I also read you should uncover and scrpae the roots once or twice during the growing season to improve the quality. Anyone do that?
