Jerusalem artichokes

I have not had much success with the ol' Jerusalem artichokes. I have figured that it is position and amount if water that has mean poor production and small crops.

Well I had this amazing and curious type of sunflower come up this last summer. I left it in while it dried up and looked pretty pathetic. Finally I went out there to pull out this massive plant and it was only then that I realised that I'd shoved a couple of Jerusalem Artichokes in there some time, maybe a year ago.

What a bumper crop of artichokes! These are all from one plant and they look amazing. Time to search the web for some good recipes...

  1. As I started to read this I was wishing I could share some with you but as usual your plants came through. I planted two a couple of years ago. We now have a large bed of them. They are prolific. Have to admit we pitch a few each year otherwise the entire property would be covered. When you are looking for recipes check for 'to peel' or 'not to peel.' We've found there is definitely a difference in how you digest it. :-)
