Got around to putting in the Jerusalem artichoke! I purchased 45 of these somewhat gnarly-looking tubers, some whole, some cut up, from a small seed house. “Chokes” to buy for planting aren’t an easy find. Meanwhile, I’m told they actually grew wild in the farmhouse back yard in decades past. This should be an interesting new crop, a kind of potato substitute with a “nutty taste”. They’re perennial, so they went in a semi-permanent spot in the herb garden, there to multiply!
3. Great post. I was checking continuously this blog and I’m impressed! Extremely useful info specially the last part :) I care for such information a lot. I was looking for this particular information for a very long time. Thank you and good luck.
Jersulaem fartichokes. They taste good enough but not so good as to go through all of the farting afterwards. I grew these this year and won’t be growing them again.
I planted about 60 of these the other day, (the first thing I have planted on my micro farm)
My wife makes relish out of these and it is really good and the only way I have ever eaten them. …..love your site and am inspired to make my 1.3 acres grow some food.
