Jerusalem Artichoke

[cambourne7]

I was wondering if anyone has some Jerusalem Artichoken that they would let me swap with

i can offer from a wide list so if you have a little Jerusalem Artichoke that you are willing to swap let me know what you would like as a swap.

Sorry, I've just dug over my JA bed and they suffered so badly in the drought that there was almost nothing left.

thats ok  ;D

Ive got some left in but they are staying put (hopefully) for another month.
If no one else offers you are welcome to some - depending on whats there when I dig them up!

However dobies amongst others do a variety called Fuseau which are a much better variety than mine. They are bigger and less knobbly so easier to peel. They cost £7.95 for 20 which will give you plenty.

Interestingly I have just had a look at a couple of other sites to see who stock them and marshalls do with an increased price of  £9.75

if you read the blurb it says at the bottom

As seen on Grow Your Own Veg

haha

the kind offer is appreciated and happy to wait.

Never had JA so i only wanted one or two plants to see if i did and if they would take to my soil :-)

 I doubt you will get named varieties but if you just want a few to try both Sainsburys and Tesco normally stock them at this time of year if you have to buy some.

Hi Louise... I have some of the Variety "Fuseau" which is spindle shaped and so less knobbly and easier to prepare....
They can be difficult to dig out....
;D
