Jerusalem artichoke


I have a small patch of Jerusalem artichoke in my outside garden.  I contain the patch, not wanting this vegetable to spread all over the garden.  The Jerusalem artichoke, which some people mistake for ginger has a habit of spreading tubers beyond their patch.  This is an easy to grow vegetable, good for roasting, stir-frying and making a delicious soup, especially with carrots.  I put back some of the tubers to grow, adding compost and manure to ensure good size tubers.  Planted now the tubers will be ready to harvest next autumn.
