As far as I undersatnd, with Jerusalems you can just plant tubers you buy in the supermarket. 
I've just realised I haven't got any left from last year's crop so I'm going to have to go off and buy some too...
Enjoy  :)
Lotty holder since Aug 09... I've FINALLY finished clearing it! On with the p.lanting  ....

Ah what you want is a Waitrose  :D I'm sure they'd have them lol!

If you draw a blank, there are several traders offering them on ebay.  I got my potato tubers from there this year and was really impressed with what I got.  If I can't get Jerusalems this week in my local supermarket that's what I'll do!

Have fun, Jerusalems are one of my favourite veg.  Luvverly!

Ah well if it's Waitrose it's going to be a high quality crop isn't it  ;)

Just check they have not been injected with Botox, covered in thick make-up with a hair band wrapped around...the sort of things that makes one fit in at Waitrose....certainly around here in Surrey.....

Now, if I can just find my jodhpurs, I should be off to the stables with my daughters Arabella and Chlamydia..... ;)
