Did anyone see "Grow your own veg" on BBC2 last night? It was
enthusiastically promoting Jerusalem Artichokes as easy to grow and
good to eat, enough to induce me to order some seed tubers this
morning, but omitted to mention a key fact about these little chaps.
Having heard the reputation of JA and then hearing Carol (Isn't she a
delight!) describe them as a "wind break" I wonder if there is a
double meaning to that, or even a misinterpretation!

She is BRILLIANT. Grubby hands, filthy boots, loads of wrinkles :~)
She's an inspiration. I really felt I wanted to taste those tatties boiled
in the garden !
