Is this the site you are talking about?

I've thought about getting some and/or trying to grow it.

Scott, I tried growing some last year. It was growing beautifully in the
shade, getting big, lots of nice dark green leaves. Then, I went out one
morning and some @#$$$%^&* critter had dug it up! I don't know if it was
ground squirells, possums or what. I tried re-potting it, but it never came
back. So besides the growing instructions, I would recommend that you
'critter-proof' the growing area. Funny, they haven't done this to any of
the other asian plants we grow.

Thanks Nick,

I'll give it a shot and make sure to critter proof the area. I've got a
nice shady area in my lanai that I think I can duplicate the conditions
fairly well in and that should keep the bad guys out as well. Who knows,
maybe I can become the local wasabi farmer. :^)

Any idea how cold-tolerant the stuff is (or better yet, what "zones"
it's good for)? I'd love to grow some as well, but I'm concerned that
it might get a bit cold here in Colorado. I guess I could always try
to over-winter it in the garage or basement...

Check out this site. It seems to say you can grow it indoors.

Bob, I don't remember. The web site (posted earlier) might have the info,
otherwise (forgive me for this) a Google search should provide an answer.

Thanks, I guess I'll just have a look around a bit. I would
try the idea about growing it indoors, but I have some extra
space in the garden where it would be ideal...
