A Little Bit Of Sunshine DSC_0986

My Jerusalem artichoke plants are blooming beautifully. I have read that the flowers should be cut off so that all of the energy goes into producing edible tubers rather than flowers but they are too pretty to cut down.
Very nice. I like the composition.

@summerfield I love them. They make a nice soup but my preference is to toss them oil, slow roast them until they start to caramelise then drizzle over caramelised balsamic - delicious 😋

They are pretty, but ...to eat or not to eat, that is the question!

@ellida I figure by leaving the flowers I get to enjoy both. There are always enough tubers for us and still some to give away.
