Comments: Each tuber can be cut into several crowns, or knobs, and planted. Work a fertilizer ratio of 10-10-10 into the soil, before planting as well, at a rate of 1 1/2 to 2 lbs/100 sq. ft. With proper care, a tremendous yield is produced. Harvest: these artichokes can be left in the ground and dug as they're needed through the winter, until the ground freezes. Trim the stalks back in the fall as they begin to die. Trim back 1'. Mulch the rows with a thick layer of straw or leaves after the 1st hard frost. Although freezing improves the flavor, you can dig the tubers in the fall and store in sealed containers in frig. or cool areas.

Eat Righters
Reviewed By: patsy (crossville , tn)
we were introduced to the chocks about 2 years ago and have found then to be a very delightful addition to diet. They are not only good they are very good for folks that have type "a" and "o" blood type...Read "Eat Right 4 your type" by Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo".

Artichoke Pleasure
Reviewed By: Marjorie Hendersen (Carson City, Nevada)
Several tubors given to me by friends in Reno, Nev. several years ago and I planted them in my yard against the house, happily along the edge of where the rain/snow dropped off, that is what they enjoy. I had never seen them growing -I harvested them and gave to neighbors, the plants flowered (happy to know that they are edible also) and couldn't get anyone to tell me what to do with them, just that you can eat them, stores were useless information. I didn't have a computer and anyway, moved out of state and could never find them anywhere, now back in Carson City and would like to grow them in my yard now. Hope to get tubors, wonderful raw and only take a few square feet of space and worthwhile for families to have year around salads and cooked safe food. Thank you for this information.

Pickled Jerusalem Artichoke
Reviewed By: Opal Brown (Columbia, SC)
My family and relatives have eaten pickled Jerusalem artichokes all our lives. They are wonderful as a side with winter vegatables-collards, cabbage, turnips, rutabagas, etc. They are also great as an appetizer. Thoroughly clean (but do not peel) and pack in jars (may need to cut large pieces into bite-size sections)and fill with a vinegar, water, sugar mixture. add hot peppers to give some heat if desired. Process in canning bath. Enjoy.
