Another #FrüchteFreitag post ... On Wednesday, I finally managed to dig up all my #JerusalemArtichokes. At least, I hope I did! 😂 There were way too many, so I asked in our village chat group if anyone wanted some #tubers, and within 15 minutes, a lady came to pick up a bag. 😀

I roasted a few but made the mistake of not peeling them first. It was disgusting, the peel was really bitter. 😫 Still, I've kept some to try again (peeled this time), and I reckon they'll be really good. I'll also plant a few more, but this time in a container.

Jerusalem artichokes, native to North America, are nutty, earthy tubers unrelated to artichokes. Perfect for soups—roast and blend with garlic, onion, and thyme for a creamy, flavourful bowl. A great addition to your cold-weather menu! #JerusalemArtichoke #SeasonalCooking

Beim türkischen Gemüsehändler gab es prächtige #Topinambur. Ich werde die nochmal einpflanzen. Es heißt eigentlich, dass die sich fast unaufhaltsam vermehren. Die haben sich nach meiner ersten Pflanzung aber kaum gehalten. Wahrscheinlich haben die Erdbewohner sie gesnackt.

The last flower from the defunct Jerusalem artichoke from our back garden.

My #JerusalemArtichokes for #FlowerFriday 🌻🌻🌻🌻

They're a lot taller than me, so I could only photograph them from below. I took this photo 2.5 weeks ago, when they fiiiinally bloomed. Now, with the first night frosts, they're already dead. I probably should dig out the tubers, though. Last year, I had two plants and only dug up one of them. Its tubers were so tiny and unusable that I couldn't be bothered to dig out the other. But this year, a whole forest of them popped up! They even grew on the neighbouring plot, oops. 😅

They're nice in a salad of shredded carrots and apples, though the taste is quite earthy. I've never tried them cooked. My rabbits loved them back in the day. I remember shipping a shoebox full of tubers to another member of an online rabbit forum I used to frequent, because my parents had so many #JerusalemArtichoke plants. 😁
