Fartichoke?
Sunchoke?
Having the hardest time getting those established.....
Stupid voles eat them as quick as I plant.....
I had an empress tree growing among the veggies, alas.... Too much shade... Cut it down, and now tons of root suckers to pull and add to the compost..... Almost wonder how they'd work as mulch....
I'm over run with kittens, and the stupid neighbors just dropped more off... Scared little things can barely eat solid food...
With those huge dogs.... Maybe keep armadillos and raccoons away?
Do they catch squirrels?
