  1. Sunchoke flower (Helianthus tuberosus) peeking in the bathroom window to watch me showering!

    "Hi there!"

    Sunchokes are hardy, sprout back up from tubers, get taller than I am, delight the squirrels who have been eating the flowers, and have a semi-edible root.

    Why partially edible?

    Because they have lots of inulin, a polysaccharide, that we don't digest, but our lower gut flora certainly does.

    I have roasted up a few and #sunchoke is tasty.

  5. #SilentSunday with a busy #bee & a sunshiney #sunchoke bloom.

    I grow a lot of them in large pots. I never plant these in ground because they'll spread too quickly & hard to contain in ground. I can control them better, in large & movable pots.

    Also known as the Jerusalem artichoke plant - despite it not being from Jerusalem & it not being an artichoke. It was first cultivated by #IndigenousPeoples of North America.

  10. For a #friendsgiving #potluck I am going to make a #vegan, #GlutenFree #mushroom #PotPie.

    So far I am planning on using #maitake, shredded king oyster, and #portabella mushrooms along with #SweetPotato, #SunChoke, #GreenBeans, and probably a few other things I haven’t thought of yet
