Jerusalem Artichokes
« on: May 20, 2013, 14:53 »
Hi

I grew these fine last year and I replanted some in Feb this year. They haven't sprouted out the ground yet though which seems abit odd. Anyone else had this problem?

My first time growing these this year. The ones on the allotment are about six inches high, the ones in the back garden are only just starting to show and are pretty thin on the ground.

Thanks for the reply.

Ok I'll give them longer, the beds covered in weeds because I don't know what is weed and what might be an artichoke shoot  :lol:

I've got them spread over quite alarge area (sort of went wild before I got the plot ) and have found they seem to grow in waves, have dug up ones with leaves 5 cm long and the next week more tiny leaves would be shooting up further along. I'd give the, some more time before losing hope  :)
