Message: [QUOTE="Jewell, post: 200433, member: 659"] Yes, have them in my garden. Suggest you plant where you want them to live from now until eternity. It is difficult to find all the tubers in my experience, but I am a pretty lazy gardener. I also grow them for their tall stalks of yellow fall flowers. Being raised to prepare for everything I consider chokes a doomsday food. Mainly because I would have to be starving to go to the trouble of cleaning them to eat. There are varieties that are smoother and more easily prepared for eating so it might be worthwhile to seek those varieties out. They do have a nice crunchy sweet and starchy flavor. I haven’t tried cooking them but should. (Like I said it’s the cleaning thing) Imagine cooked they could substitute for a starchy veggie. Have used radishes and parsnips for a potato substitute with success for soups and scalloped “potatoes“. Cheese and sausage make all veggies taste pretty good;);) [/QUOTE]
