Jerusalam Artichokes
My first time for this veggie. I planted some tubers from the nursery. They
are now a 10 -12 foot tall 'forest' which has been tied to a deck railing. We are going away for 2 months during which they may get some frost. Is there any further steps to take? |

The tubers are safe underground. If fact you can leave them there and
dig them up any time through early spring. They actually keep best in the ground. By this time of year they have done all the growing they're going to do On Fri, 01 Oct 2004 17:23:03 GMT, "My side" wrote: My first time for this veggie. I planted some tubers from the nursery.

Get every last little piece, before they take over your whole yard, and you can't find your house. Seriously, frost won't hurt them, just leave them in the ground and they'll be fine. But, I was only half joking above, they will multiply like crazy. Also, be aware, no matter how you prepare them, they will produce the mother of all flatulence. Ross.
