Welcome!

Anyone can garden-from herbs in the windowsill to pots on the patio to small plots for veggies in your yard.

I actually have more challenges than most-which is why I have such easy solutions! enjoy-and grow more food!

Jerusalem artichokes

yup, they were impressive at 8 feet or whatever. and I used to grow the durned things as a screen from the road,20 years ago.huge plates of tubers to use as we wished too.

but i find them unwieldy, sunblocking, and the tubers not worth it. I am ripping them out as best I can ( oh well lots of compost material)

just because something is recommended ,doesn;t mean it works for you. if you don;t like it, don;t grow it!For instance, we like zucchini much better than yellow squash. so-I quit growing the obligatory yellow squash. Parsnips we like, carrots not so much. go figure.

After talking to a master gardener about it, I'm going to try some horseradish in that spot....(put gravel sand etc under them. no wet feet)
