I like Jerusalem artichokes as I have the less nobbly kind which are easy to just scrub up or peel. The problem is keeping them under control as they spread everywhere and are a pita unless contained. Mine are not contained and it is a constant battle.

I planted a few yards of them here, as I thought i ought to at least grow them for my customers.

Despite not liking them myself.

The legend is indeed that they are impossible to eradicate, once established .

However, I think the evil vibes (or neglect) they received from me, means there's nary a trace left of them here..

Not a bad morning, maybe the quiet before....

Few chores, bike needs a clean after yesterday's amble.. Baton down stuff for the gales.

Mine are totally neglected apart from slashing with a machete and/or digging up to eat.You must have really evil vibes. My neighbour has offered me weed killer which he claims will kill anything but I am not going that route.

My evil vibes are legendary

Just ask anyone who's ever dared cross me.

Tbh I think it was the black grass, combined with a hungry vole infestation that did for them in the end.

Artichokes need consistent, but not too much moisture. They are a sort of thistle, the real ones. Jerusalem artichokes are a sunflower. They seem to thrive around here, where planted. If you store the tubers for a while, they get sweeter. Low fat, high carb, rich in iron and thiamine.

Our Quad bike caught fire this morning......apparently it's my fault although l was 10 km away and not riding it when the trouble occurred .........not saying anything about feminine logic

Yes Girasol - sunflower, became Jerusalem.

Seems we've been mishearing / misspelling since before even t'internet began.

Globe artichokes are a proper treat.
I never 'evil vibe' them.
