Artichoke, Jerusalem.—
This has the same food value as the potato, but, in my view tasteless even using sauces does nothing for it.
The plant is a coarse-growing plant which belongs to the sunflower family.
I would never grow it because over the years it will grow bigger then your car.
If you do want to grow it the plant does need sunshine, but is not particular as to soil.
Plant in the spring on soil that has had a dressing of farmyard manure that has been dug in.
Plant the tubers a foot apart in rows two feet apart.
Be warned that this plant is a perennial, and likely to become a troublesome weed unless restricted and kept in check.
