Horseradish is growing great. However not one of the strawberry bare roots were alive

This is one of the only things from MIgardener that I haven't had success with. Planted straight away about a month ago, but not a single sprout yet. I thought horseradish was pretty easy, so I'm not sure if I did something wrong or if it's the roots.

Good clear easy to follow instructions and very healthy looking cuttings not wet not dry but just right, very fresh cuttings.

I was concerned when I got these roots in the mail. They looked downright anemic and sad. I had purchased toward the end of the season and figured I got the crumbs of what was left. Stuck them in some dirt and watered anyway. A week later a beautiful little green leaf came up from each root. A couple weeks after that there were full, glossy horseradish leaves. I haven't dug these up to harvest yet, but telling by the health of what is growing so far, I think we will be pleasantly surprised.

Got them planted and they took off quickly
