We are now 
Sunchokes are quite hardy in our area, but ought to be lifted every year to harvest and thin them. In some parts of the country they can be invasive (too dry here, I suspect). I was busy, however, and never managed to get around to it that year. Last spring I was delighted to see a dense patch of them sprouting up in the same spot, and the display was even more spectacular than the previous year, although they tended to fall over on top of everything around them.
Finally, early this spring I managed to get out there with a small tray to dig up the tubers. The clump had remained only three to four square feet in size, but the tubers were stacked on top of each other almost twelve inches underground, and so densely packed that it would be more accurate to say that I picked them apart, rather than dug them up.
I remember growing peanuts in my grandmother’s garden as a kid. They grew like little pea plants but had nothing to show for themselves except a few small flowers, low to the ground. In the fall, though, we’d pull up the plants, and like magic, peanuts would be in amongst the roots. It seemed to me that someone must have buried them there when I wasn’t looking.
These days I like to start them early before transplanting them out when the weather warms up. They are a long season crop, and although we have sufficient summer for them, I get a better harvest by starting them early.
