Mud and Jerusalem artichokes anyway I planted a few bulbs/tubers a couple of years ago and they spread like crazy. So I walked through what was the garden and I was admiring the dry stalks and how straight and tough they are. Anyway when I pulled a couple I noticed a ton of these tubers coming up with them.
I've never even tried eating these so I pressure washed a couple, sliced them thin and was surprised to find that they are very tasty
I guess I'll try baking or frying some next.
It's time to plant onions. I noticed they are selling sets already. The earlier you get them in the ground the better.
I usually plant Wall Walla's about the end of this month.
Oh, yes, they are supposed to be pretty tasty.. They also contain inulin, a sugar our body can digest or break down. So, they tend to give one a lot of gas. I used to be able to find them on the grocery shelves about 30 years ago or so, but no longer. I guess there was some kind of pyramid scam attached to that. I never see them anymore. Anyway, I planted Jerusalem artichoke seeds last year and they didn't sprout.
I'll give you some bulbs?tubers if you want I have a lot. The other day my friend caught a 3 lb trout. We BBQed it wrapped in aluminum foil with some sliced up some Jerusalem artichokes . It was VERY good.
