Sunchokes! I was/ am hoping to put those in this year. Any quirks/tips that should be kept in mind when planting these? My Mom has a big area where she just leaves them to grow, but her place is like Farm Gone Wild. Literally.
Those sunchokes are pretty easy to grow, they just like sun, a decent amount of moisture. And soil that's not too rich in nitrogen. They don't really need much attention, except when they get tall, then get messy, so I plan on using some stakes and jute to hold them back from falling over. I'm not a big fan of sunchokes, food-wise, it's new to me, but trying some new recipes hoping to find one that I like. They have a distinct smell that bothers me. I think I might like them pickled so they remind me of real artichokes hearts which I love. Hahaha, Farm Gone Wild, I've gotta see those pictures!
