I planted sunchoke in my food garden this year for the first time, to see what it's like. Pretty astonishing growth. The stalks are thick and 3m (9') tall already, starting from just a couple of tubers in May. Is there another plant that grows so vigorously??

I'm looking forward to harvesting and trying the tubers in early spring. Curious how justified the nickname "fartichoke" is!

Any fartichoke lovers out there? Share some recipes!
