Is there a different common name for these? I’ve never heard of them, and am old…. Totally was surprised 😂 Do they taste and get used the same as the typical artichoke?
Ahhhh sunchokes.... the love I may divorce... delicious, very healthy, a beautiful plant and easy to grow... BUT EXTREMELY INVASIVE. I have planted them in the ground and they spread like wildfire, even went out of the garden bed and under my driveway and destroyed some of it. So I am now trying to kill that area, first with herbicide and now smothering with 4 layers of thick plastic construction tarp covered with mulch... basically smothering them, we shall see how that goes. No you cannot just dig them up, impossible.... you will not get all the tubers. I am trying pots now, big pots, but they grow so fast I think the pots will crack open soon. I like this persons method, I think I just planted too many at once.... will try his plant one and harvest later.... good luck, let me know your method.

I personally like the idea of planting them directly in the ground. Never heard anyone complain of having too much food 👍
We put it in vinegar for a week and you will get crispy pickles
Thank you, mine are in ground, very sandy soil but Isee the sense of generally having them in pots.
