Have any of you grown and harvested Jerusalem artichokes, also known as sun
chokes? I have some growing the edge of one of my fields. I didn't know
what they were until this last summer. They are the red variety. I dug some
tonight. I didn't find very many and what I did find was shallow, about 2-4
or 6 inches deep. The plants are pretty thick; in some places, maybe 2-3"
apart. Should they spaced further apart? Should I fertilize them for higher
yields? Any other suggestions or places I should look to learn more about
them?

Thanks in advance,
