When I bought my house that was built in the early 1900's it came with horseradish and rhubarb. I have no idea when they were planted. This is area is heavy Czech heritage and I'm told that any old farm house you stumble upon would have horseradish growing.
I've never harvested horseradish but a neighbor begged me for the tops!
The rhubarb is very delicious.
When my cat eats the horseradish leaves she makes sure to puke them back up on fresh dried laundry...smells like a Chinese restaurant when I hit them with the lawnmower too..
