Its interesting that the tradition around here is to dig it in the spring, right before Easter. Digging it in the fall is cause for many a raised eyebrow. I have no idea why.

I was always told horseradish could be harvested in any month with an "R". (Not May, June, JUly, and Aug.)

I always heard that you dig it after it gets cold because it has stronger flavor. ?

Usually ours gets done while I'm gone all day at a women's convention always held around the middle of Oct.!

That lets us out - it doesn't get cold enough here - so we gotta do, what we gotta do - dig it anytime - when we run out, especially.
