Buying Jerusalem Artichokes
 

I want to buy some Jerusalem Artichokes to see if I like eating them
before I plant them. I have looked at my local Ralphs and my
brother has looked at the local Vons but we did not find any.

Does anyone know where we might find them? We live in the South
West corner of Los Angeles CA, very near the intersection of the 91
and 110 freeways. Thank you in advance for all replies.

I am TERRIBLY cruel to my cat. I tease him with a vine tendril
until he either jumps up in the air to bat at it or zooms around
in a circle until he gets too dizzy to stand up. What is cruel about
it is that I don't do it nearly as much as he wants me to.

I have seen them in LA, but they are not called Jerusalem Artichokes. They are
called "Sun Chokes."

I probably saw them in Ralphs or Vons, where I usually shop. But I don't see
them all the time.

If you do decide to grown them, dig a big hole and put a container in it and
plant the chokes in the container. Otherwise they will take over your yard. My
dad used an old tin wash tub. If you like the sun chokes you find, you can
probably plant a few of them and they should grow into plants.
