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."

Good advice and interesting choices.

I particularly like the idea of a climbing Mr. Lincoln.

Another interesting choice that I would like to try.

Features some interesting choices.

Darlow's Enigma

This might be another good choice for a rose to grow on the black chain link fence.

Still looking for a thornless shade tolerant climbing rose.

Zephirine Drouhin might be the one.
