Actually, I am expecting my first dahlia harvest this fall. My mom and the ladies of the neighborhood have been enjoying the process of my raising the tubers for the table....

I understand Dahlias are very tasty root veggies as well. You might want to add them to your
list. They also look nice in the garden.

Do you cook yacon? I think of it as a raw veg.

Those of you who like sunchokes may also want to try
yacon. A relative of sunchoke that is substantially more productive, it
does not tolerate freezing and thus cannot be invasive in colder
climates. While opinions vary, I much prefer the taste of yacon over
sunchoke, although both are good. I pull up volunteer sunchoke plants
in my garden but plant yacon every year. An easy, highly productive plant
here in zone 5, unbothered by disease or insects.
I usually have a few extra plants left over in the spring, for those that
might want to give it a try. Please contact me in late may if
intersted.

I'm being unclear. What I'm saying is chokes
colonized the area to
the extent that not even reed canary grass will compete. I have them
planted in a lot of places & think it's a good low input / high output
plant even tho I only manage to eat them a couple times a year.
