    I bought a couple of roots in the GC the other day.

    Do I need to grow them in a deep container to stop them spreading everywhere?

    Veg Expert says lifting them in October, and replanting in March will prevent them taking over.

    What do you reckon?

    I'll tick it in a pot this year and see how I get on. I would prefer to be in charge of what is allow to be Rampant around here!

    going off at a tangent here....
    I can eat hot chillies and can cope with it but cannot eat horseradish. It blows the top of my head off and I end up with the most horrid headache ever.

    just thought I'd share :-)

    Its funny how we are all different. Its the other way round with me Shobhna - one little bit of the mildest chili is enough to destroy all my taste-buds for a day - but I like an inch thick layer of horseradish on my beef (I might be exaggarating a little bit :) )
