 Jerusalem artichoke shoots? what do they look like? I have a shoot near where one JA went but as I've never grown them before I don't know what the plant looks like!

| They are long (ish) and thin (ish) leaves Heeb. Mine are just coming through and they sort of spear up through the ground. I suppose you'd call them oval and they are quite chunky - you wouldn't mistake them for a weed or a spud. When I've finished reading the messages, I'll nip out and take a pic for you. Flum

| Thanks for that Flummery. I was wondering when I might see mine come up but no idea what they will look like. I have planted mine where I WANT them to take over, so I hope they do! |
