Jerusalem Artichoke (Organic) 1 Pound - Hardy Red Fuseau Variety - (Sunroot 'chokes or Sunchoke) by Yumheart Gardens

These have been in the ground for about 2 weeks and they are up and looking great! I will not know about the harvest for a while still but so far so good!

My order arrived four days earlier than expected and all the artichokes looked great and already starting to sprout.

Fast shipping. Excellent samples ready to eat or plant. I planted these.

Arrived on time. JA's nice and plump. Was a little disappointed by how small they were. Got the impression that they were larger from the listing. There was the right amount weight-wise. I gave four stars because I want to wait to see how they will grow. It will be nice to have a purple variety.

Looked great, we ate one and planted the rest!

They arrived in perfect firm shape. Very pleased.

I give this seller/product a TEN!!! I am very new to gardening, but had recent success planting potatoes starts. I was told about the health value of these tubers so wanted to try planting fir myself. To be honest, I didn't put them in the ground right away. I opened the package and placed them in my fridge for 2 or 3 days. I then set them out on my shaded porch for a full 24 hours to get them to "normal" temp before putting them in the ground--if this sounds wrong, forgive me. I really have no clue about gardening. I planted them in a 4 × 8 foot bed we had flowers in last year. I pulled out all the weeds and put in several REALLY old bags of mulch I had in my shop--the mulch was so old, it had completely dried out and there were lizards burrowed in a couple of the bags. I took a 50-foot soaker hose and wound it around the bed and turned it on and left it for a couple hours, until the water soaked through. There were still dry patches. Fortunately, it rained and it was all completely saturated. Unfortunately, the Temps in our area dropped to. I thought they might rot. Well, about 2 weeks later they began to sprout. Once they started, I could see new shoots every 1 to 2 days. They are still coming up. The smallest buds in my picture were not there last evening. I planted a few more in ground I had just tilled. In this area I through in mulch, but I tilled it into the soul. I think I only put in 3 or 4, maybe 6 tops. 3 of these have sprouted as well. I planted both beds on the same day. The only difference is mulch vs. Mulch and tilled soil.---sirry, could not add photos.

Planted in well drained sunny spot. Not one of them sprouted.
