Something New Here: Jerusalem Artichokes and why I grow them

This year I planted Jerusalem artichokes because the idea of a sunflower looking flower and an edible tuber really appealed to me. It like me will be useful as well as ornamental and pull it's weight around here.

I like the way that this photo shows how tall they got compared to the storage bin and the house.

I was excited to see the butterfly here this morning, I guess they like them too.

Here's a view from the street.

As you can see there's plenty to inspire drawings and paintings here.

I can't wait to get started.
