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.


Where can you get tubers (on-line in UK or Ireland)?
I used to have a patch of perennial sunflowers that looked just like the
artichokes and they were nice looking enough to make me want a patch,
wind
or not.


Thompson and Morgan sell them online
(

I think they only deliver in the UK


Thanks Gill; I will check that; they certainly deliver seeds here (and have
local agents) but tubers may indeed be another story.
