Default Where to buy horseradish root in East Kent?



Sorry if this sounds like a silly question, but where can I get fresh
horseradish root in East Kent at this time of year?

Try near some allotments, there are sometimes patches of escaped
stuff around!

No sense being pessimistic. It wouldn't work anyway.

In case I can't find any, is there anywhere selling it?

I've not seen it, hopefully someone else will help. I can direct
you to a patch in a park on the London edge of Kent :-)

There's *loads* of it in Pegwell nature reserve, all along the paths.

It might be worth trying the Farmers Market in Canterbury. Its brilliant at
that type of thing. You'll find it next to the Canterbury West train
station. Haven't been down there for a while, but last time I did there was
a good selection of produce.

Thanks for this. It took my wife and me a while, testing roots from
several wrong plants first, at Pegwell nature reserve, but eventually we
found some horseradish. The leaves weren't as lush as in the photo, they
were yellowing and some were full of holes, but I thought I might as
well test, and horseradish it turned out to be. Went back there a few
days later, got 2kg of root (2kg after cleaning and removing brown bits)
from one plant, on what was practically waste ground so no-one will be
upset. Need it for a herbal tincture in case anyone's thinking what on
earth does someone want 2kg of horseradish for. It will make a very nice
internet story for family members who haven't had much experience of the
net!

Good, glad you found some.

No, no-one will miss it there. You're not *supposed* to pick anything but if
you've ever tried to stop horseradish growing you'll know that there's
nothing to worry about! Next year I plan to pinch tons of the blackberries
that grow everywhere so if it's the worst summer since the year dot you'll
know why.
