Bob Stehlik thanks. I have a lot of steel barrels and a backhoe, maybe I will bury one, but leave a foot or two sticking up. We did that at my parents for bamboo and it seemed to contain it.
kyle Should be a piece of cake for you. I had to go to a tree nursery and buy a used tree bucket and then dig the hole manually! HR propagates through root growth, so I don’t think you would have to leave much more than 6” above ground.

RON PARRISH what kind of mushrooms are you growing here in our neck of the woods?
GWG8541 I have oysters and shitaki

50 pounds of cabbage now, In 3-5 weeks sauerkraut. Cabbage got done way early this year in the garden. Made pigs in a blanket (cabbage rolls) last night for supper.kyle Looks great. I don’t grow my own cabbage but I do make kraut every year.

kyle My HR bed has been in for 20 yrs now and has spread to twice the size. I harvest in fall but from different sides of bed every other year.I also re bury the heads and they will re grow

bocephus I didnt grow my cabbage either back when we would do 250 pounds. We could buy it so cheap it wasn’t worth growing. Now that I only do 50 pounds, and with prices going up on everything, I started growing it.

kyle Just go for it. Try to get some crowns or roots from a friend or neighbor. The rest will take care of itself. HR kind of has a mind of its own. I think you may still have some time UP North to get it in this year. and have a good start for next year and then put another crown/root in in the spring. HR loves that Wisconsin weather, so does garlic. I grew up in the Village of West Milwaukee and we always had HR and garlic in our garden.

Bob Stehlik the old timers here used to say you could harvest HR in any month ending in “R”. Have found that to be about the best time to dig. Do some every year. Much better than the store stuff.

wdaly I have heard that as well. I usually dig some of mine out in late SeptembeR to mid OctobeR. In November & December the ground may be frozen and it could be under a couple of inches of snow. In the past I’ve dug up some pencil sized roots in the Spring for Easter meals, but it doesn’t seem to have the potency of the Fall roots.

Bob Stehlik I agree, the spring roots are definitely milder, but nice and tender.
