In this video, we briefly talk about one of our hardy survival foods grown on our homestead, the Jerusalem Artichokes or Sunchoke; What it takes to grow it and to get rid of it when it is in an area you don’t want it in. It can easily become an invasive plant.

Thanks for the info Rob. We don't think the sun choke is for us after watching your video. They seem to be great to eat but hard to get rid of . We really appreciate you wearing the t-shirt and supporting us. It looks good one you my friend. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day
Great information as always! I’ve never heard of sunchokes before. Thanks for sharing and have an awesome weekend!🤗🌱
passion for gardening friends
Hello my friend! Thank you and have a beautiful day!😊👍57
Alright alright alright nice very nice 👍 cheers fam
Great update. Lots of really cool stuff growing. Those Sunchokes can really get out of hand. One of those want to have around types but can become a hassle quick. Yard looks clean and green over there. Stay safe and motivated. Thanks for the share!
wow lots of plants,fresh from garden to table
How do you like eating artichokes? Never tried growing them up here in New Hampshire. I hope you have a great day!
Lol have you seen my sunchoke yard? Lmbo
If you get there in the yard just pull or mow
Plant Them somewhere you can mow around
But yes be carefull where you plant them
Yes tarps work but it can escape around
Chickens love the tops maybe the roots too
Bunnies love tops and bottoms
Looks awesome. That is the type of garden I want in my backyard.
Nice update Sapper, sunchokes are great survival food and yes sir, them jokers are sure enough invasive!! Solid information your passing on sir, y'all have a good weekend my brother!! Dan
I see a new area every time you upload a video! Thanks for sharing this🙏🏽
Thanks for the sunchoke info. I didn’t know that they were invasive and didn’t know about their storage properties either so that was useful to learn.
Nice video and wonderful backyard garden, my friend. Beautiful vegetable and other plants. Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend.
Sunchokes for everyone. Nice flower pics. I like the variegated leaves. Are those Canna? I have crepe myrtles growing too. The late frost caused some dieback, but they regrew and are flowering some. Thanks for the vid.
You can plant any kind your soil look so nice fertile soil.. I like your your garden.
All your plants now are so blooming my friend Rob
Hello, the garden update is so good, I wish you a nice day

Happy sunday both of you beautiful growing plant
Looks great. You have done better than me this year
Thanks your share brother
It's a beautiful garden friend 😍keep on sharing 💕thanks for showing us,God bless. Polpak npo ❤♥
Wow! Such beautiful flowers! You’re place is so green. Ours is beginning to look like that. Lol
When you talk about invasive, all I can think of are our honeysuckles 😒 yes, they are nice to an extent, smell really nice too, but man! They will take over!
This also reminds me of the bamboo my dad planted several yrs ago… Now there's NO WAY of getting rid of them, especially since it's spread to one of the neighbor's backyard, & 1/4 of it is now a bamboo jungle just waiting for a panda to come tackle the job for us😆😆 but on a serious note, NEVER grow bamboo if you live around other people
Mrs. SG's flowers are BEAUTIFUL 😍😍
Looks like sunchokes are GREAT to grow, you just gotta know what you're getting into, before growing it, thanks for sharing the tips along with this😊😊
They are determined to grow my friend 😊
fantastic
One of these days I am going to get some growing around here. I just got to find the perfect place. I built that container for the once you gave me but waited too long haha.You have done a good job with them Rob. I wonder how they would do out in the back of the property and just let them grow wild? I am sure some animals eat them in they are native.
Hello greetings from Las Vegas! That's excellent information Jerusalem artichokes. You have good size backyard, I wish we can plant some garden here in Las Vegas.
