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.
Hth Ian
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
talk about cashing in
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
I have got JA's to swap if anybody is interested and would be interested in perennial sage offcuts
