Planting horseradish root | container gardening

Horseradish is a perennial vegetable herb that is grown for its spicy root! People all over the world grind up horseradish root to use as a condiment. Horseradish is mainly used as a condiment for meat. I don't eat meat, but my family does and most of them love horseradish so I'm adding this to my garden so I can have fresh horseradish to make for them. Fresh ground horseradish is often much stronger than store bought horseradish and is a great homemade gift to give. Horseradish is also pretty good with honey baked tofu!
Horseradish's Latin name is Armoracia rusticana and has the folk name of “Sting Nose.” It is full of vitamin C, iron, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc.
As horseradish is a perennial root, it is a plant of abundance and will continue to spread and start new plants from every piece of root left behind. Some people call these types of plants as being invasive, I prefer to call them plants of abundance. I am planting my horseradish in a container for now until I have more time to think of the perfect place to plant horseradish in the ground where it can thrive and spread. Planting in a container will also make it easier for me to harvest and divide the root to make more plants in the future.
I remember digging up wild horseradish that grew in the ditches by my grandparent's farm in Saskatchewan and watched with watering eyes as it was blended up and the strong spicy smell spread throughout the house.
To make your own horseradish, harvest after the first frost, peel the root with a vegetable peeler, add it to a blender or food processor and pulse it up, then add 2-3 tbsp of apple cider, rice or plain white vinegar.
Horseradish will flower in the summer and the leaves and flowers are said to all be edible as well.
