Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Jerusalem artichokes are typically grown from tubers rather than seeds. Select small, healthy tubers for planting.

Sowing:

Plant tubers directly in the garden bed or in large containers.
Dig a hole 3-4 inches deep and place the tuber horizontally with the eyes facing upward.
Space tubers 12-24 inches apart in rows that are 36 inches apart.
Cover the tubers with soil and water thoroughly.

Germination:

Tubers will sprout within a few weeks under optimal conditions.

Transplanting:

Jerusalem artichokes do not require transplanting as they grow directly from tubers planted in the ground.

Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Stake tall varieties if necessary to support the plants and prevent them from falling over in strong winds.
Monitor for pests such as aphids and slugs, and treat as necessary using organic methods.
Harvest tubers in late fall after the foliage has died back. Use a garden fork to gently lift the tubers from the soil.
Store harvested tubers in a cool, dry place for several weeks before using them for culinary purposes.

Happy gardening!
