Jerusalem Artichokes - finally!

3kg ish of Jerusalem Artichokes


Well, the crop was certainly worth waiting for. Definitely my most successful vegetable so far. I added them to mashed potato (got away with it), made a kind of creamy bake to go with a roast (was ok) and made most of them into soup, which was edible.

Not high praise unfortunately, although I didn't experience any of the "after-effects", ahem, that Jerusalem artichokes are known for. I don't know whether to grow them again - it was lovely to have a crop that was so successful, but we really didn't love them...

End of September



Strawberries - repotted as their plot was horribly weedy and overgrown.
