“Where can we get Jerusalem Artichokes.”

Pick up any major seed catalog and you’ll find them. Be careful where you plant them because they spread like wildfire. Jerusalem artichokes are the bamboo of the root crops. They’ll take over your entire garden. Plant a half-dozen roots and in 2-3 years you’ll have hundreds of plants.

Better to grow them in pots or encircle a spot in the garden with 1-foot wide aluminum sheeting buried underground so they don’t escape.

Thanks for the info! We currently have a mint bush that someone planted which is running rampant in even the poor spot it’s in (Behind a garbage can, in the shade of another building), and gets no water, so I dunno how.

I’ll remember and put them in a bed or in a pot. I’ve always bought seeds from local stores, but if anyone can recommend a good one, I’d be obliged.
