Like most of the queries, where can one get JERUSALEM ARTICHOKES? I'm kinda old now but remember my father growing them in Pretoria in the 1950's the goggle eyed face you get when asking at a greengrocer or even a nursery tells all.

Last year I bought some from Lifestyle Garden Centre, Randpark Ridge ( corner of Ysterhout and Beyers Naude ). They grew very slowly, probably not in a sunny enough spot.

seedsforafrica.co.za have them available. They are a friendly plant and you won't need to buy many as they multiply rapidly.
