Minn, with its Continental weather may not afford enough time. When it hits, the Arctic Steamroller will be merciless. I believe that cauliflower is a 90 plant, right? But you can eat the plant whether it heads or not, so why not?

Dogs, at the moment. Just dogs.

And everything Ive ever read about horseradish says to contain it - or plant it where you don't care if it spreads.

Ah, the bitter taste of academic/government elitism is always good for the letter writing muscles.

"Raspy," I love that word :)
