Jerusalem Artichokes
Finally found a source of seed tubers for Jerusalem Artichokes and planted
them in a raised bed. The stalks grew 10' - 12' high with 1 1/2 "
diameter. Tying them to the deck prevented them from being blown over.
I have now chopped down the stalks and the ground in the area is full of
good sized tubers. Now I need to know:
1. Do I have to dig up all the tubers.
2. How to store some for replanting next spring.
I live in Vancouver BC where frost is not guaranteed. Will this make a
difference in the methods of harvesting and/or storing?
Thanks.
