I love growing unusual and interesting things and am teaching my son to love it too. I have a tiny mostly potted garden in Newcastle NSW.

Do they spread as aggressively as Jerusalem artichokes? 🤔

@brightcolours it does say they are aggressive and will spread and recommends they are kept in a pot. This is the first time I've grown them. I'd like to grow Jerusalem too but they never seem to be in stock when I put my orders in

Buy some organic J artichokes from the grocers! Plant in a big pot!

@brightcolours I've not seen them before! I will be on the lookout now! :)

I started mine off that way when I lived in Canberra.

They were very easy care.

Bedraggled old plant but I am keen to try the tubers!
