No. Jerusalem http://hotdogjam.wordpress.com/2009/...em-artichokes/ Globe http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/...a-garden-3.jpg I did mean to add that the little buds on the Jerusalem artichokes were flower buds too. I know what they look like - while I haven't got a globe a, I have Jerusalem ones growing like weeds here. (I even had one appear in the workshop.) -- Rusty |

If there was anything in there as a visual reference, it didn't make the xpost to rfc. I've never seen a globe artichoke reach eight feet - four to five is about the average, before they fall over... The size of the 'globe' was a deaad giveaway, too. -- Rusty |

When the stems die off, you dig the artichokes up. can you leave them in the ground until you use them Yes, but they'll start to sprout in mid spring. he shoots though, are perfectly edible. I suppose the flowers should be removed as useless ornamentation No, just leave them. They won't weaken the crop. even though they look rather attractive Having grown sunflowers as a seed crop, I think they look rather silly... -- Rusty |
