#FotoVorschlag: Unerwartetes Ergebnis // Surprising result

Heute mal mangels Ideen kein künstlerisch wertvolles Bild, dafür von gerade eben.
Ich war mir Ende März soooo sicher, dass ich alle #Topinambur-Knollen rausgebuddelt habe. Na ja.

Due to lack of inspiration, I don't have an artsy photo today. I did take this one only a few minutes ago, though.
In March, I was sooo sure I'd dug out all the tubers of my #JerusalemArtichokes. Oh well.

🥲

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.

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. 😁

Sunchoke flower (Helianthus tuberosus) peeking in the bathroom window to watch me showering!

"Hi there!"

Sunchokes are hardy, sprout back up from tubers, get taller than I am, delight the squirrels who have been eating the flowers, and have a semi-edible root.

Why partially edible?

Because they have lots of inulin, a polysaccharide, that we don't digest, but our lower gut flora certainly does.

I have roasted up a few and #sunchoke is tasty.

I think this video single-handedly convinced me to grow Jerusalem Artichokes/Sunchokes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0sG3uJrBGs #garden #jerusalemartichoke #sunchoke #growing

@Pollinators

I just saw a video on growing Jerusalem artichokes and mentioned it to my son (in Peoria IL), and he said he had been thinking about growing them. Have you tried that crop? Here's the video that piqued my interest:

This Crop is WAY Better Than Potatoes (And No One Grows It!)

#SilentSunday with a busy #bee & a sunshiney #sunchoke bloom.

I grow a lot of them in large pots. I never plant these in ground because they'll spread too quickly & hard to contain in ground. I can control them better, in large & movable pots.

Also known as the Jerusalem artichoke plant - despite it not being from Jerusalem & it not being an artichoke. It was first cultivated by #IndigenousPeoples of North America.

First #sunchoke flower has bloomed 🌻
Once the plants finish blooming & leaves have yellowed, I dig out several roots to cook & store for winter food 👩‍🌾😊
