A Filthy Loathsome Stinking Wind

I ordered some sunchokes from Oikos Tree Crops.

Sunchokes AKA Jerusalem Artichokes, Fartichokes

I got 4 varieties:

Diversity (4)
Gigant (2)
Drago (2)
Blue Eye (2)

so 10 tubers total.

Like most edibles grown in our garden, we intend to grow them as ornamentals, thus avoiding the digestivity problems reported by many observers.

I do love that 1621 quote by John Goodyer that they cause "a filthy loathsome stinking wind."
