After the very dry year and struggling to keep up with watering my Jerusalem artichoke, I have given up with them.
They are the gift that keeps on giving. In that you can plant them any time and harvest the new corms, leaving some in the ground and they will come again and so on.
A relative of the sunflower and will grow tall as they do. With small sunflower type flowers. The tubers are great scrubbed and roasted or grated into mash etc.
One word of warning however, to some people they have effects on the digestive system , hence their nickname “farty-choke”
As you can see there are plenty to either eat or sow as you please
