planting jerusalem artichokes

i hate hawks

Good idea containing them to a raised bed too because they just keep spreading, when you drive past old homesteads in late summer and see large areas of tall yellow flowers that is Jerusalem artichokes . They store very well in the ground over winter so they can also be harvested early in the spring.

I've wanted to grow some, but I have been hesitant because I've heard that they can escape your planting area and become a nuisance. I'll be very interested to see how they do. Thanks for the video.

Never grew or ate any of those. Your soil sure looks good. Should be able to grow anything in there.

Regards, Gary

cute, patient doggie! My dogs are in pretty much all of my videos too. Jerusalem Artichokes (Sunchokes) are so good. I eat them raw, thinly sliced. To me they taste like a hybrid between a potato, a water chestnut and mild carrot. I just started growing some too, I guess they are native to North America and were a big part of the early settlers diet.

[baconsoda]

Two questions please. Are you wearing a mic because the sound is superb? Audio is an issue with my camera so I've just ordered a new one but I'd get a mic too if I knew what to ask for. And, what do you think of the Muck boots now that you've had them a while?

Thanks and Best Wishes, Brendan.

[pinetar100]

@baconsoda no mic this camera has a great mic...called sony webbie.....the boots are great but they get hot when the temp is up

[baconsoda]

@pinetar100 Thank you.
