jerusalem artichoke--pleasant word for such an easy to grow "weed"!  But you
do have to be careful selling them as they can "disrupt" insulin for
diabetics--don't have all the research.  I pickled mine.  will have to find
the recipe, post later.  sold a few...hard thing to sell, not alot of folks
familiar with it.

An easier variety to grow is Sunchokes, less knobby--can't find my Johnny's
catalog (wink, wink, nudge...need the 'commercial" grower one!!)  I ordered
from Seeds Blum originally, and she's no longer in business (I think??).
(didn't get custody of those either ; ))
