The humble Jerusalem artichoke, once known as the poor mans potato during the second world war, is now being served as part of gourmet dishes in top restaurants in the world. But there is more! There's no vegetable that is easier, lower maintenance and more satisfying to both grow and harvest. It's a super reliable and sustainable food source. During the dark winter months digging up tubers really brightens the mood.

It's like going out into the garden looking for Easter eggs, you never know what you might find just beneath the surface but they're usually plentiful. Jerusalem artichokes are a tuberous sunflower originally known as Giro Sol, to turn with the sun. Extend your harvest beyond the conventional growing season with perennial tuberous vegetables!

Tubers are available to start your own patch in your garden here:
