Hi Alan!!!
So nice to hear from you again. Thanks for your sweet thoughts about Chester (and Franny)...I'm totally game if you are. LOL Think about the fun road trip *that* would be!! :-)

And how funny that you posted on horseradish - I just received 2 small roots from a friend in Pennsylvania last week so that I could try planting some for the first time. By next year at this time, I should have some of my own homegrown horseradish to try!

I will be back to read all that I've missed.

Yum, Alan, your horseradish looks beautiful!!! We grow it here, too, but I've been trying to work up the nerve to harvest some after reading endlessly about the mustardgas-like fumes and etc. Goggles and gloves sound like essentials! So is that cider vinegar? I assume you water-bath-canned it, but for how long? Maybe I'll get brave and give it a try!
