The sunchoke stalks were falling over and looking messy, so we pulled them up and bunched them vertically in one corner of the garden. We made sure to keep the spent stalks upright and off the ground so that if there are any overwintering bees burrowed inside that they'd still be protected (laying the stalks on the ground would cause them to stay wet and rot over the winter, killing the bees that might be sleeping inside). We weren't really trying to pull up sunchoke tubers right now, but invariably a few came up with the roots. Kids love inspecting this strange knobby looking food. Sunchokes are delicious sautéed in butter. If any parents would like to take some home to try, just let me know!
