Artichokes
Jerusalem Artichokes (Sunchokes)
This relative of the sunflower produces fleshy tubers you can boil, fry, or eat raw.
In the spring, plant small tubers 2 to 3 inches deep and 18 to 24 inches apart. Stalks reach several feet in height and produce masses of attractive yellow flowers before frost in the fall.
Tubers can be harvested all winter and are best left in the ground until needed. Keep harvested tubers in a plastic bag in the refrigerator to prevent shrinkage.
Beware of this plant. It quickly becomes a weed from small tubers left in the ground at harvest.
