Corms and tubers

We also bought some artichokes at the potato day. The large two are Jerusalem Artichokes that have gone straight into the ground and the smaller ones Chinese Artichokes. I have put them in pots as instructed but haven't got a clue what I do with them after that expecially how to eat them as they look more like maggots than vegetables.

We forgot that the gladioli from last year were still hanging to dry in the small greenhouse at home. I stripped back the old corm and the dead stalks and we have 92 large corms ready to plant. The advantage now is that you can tell what colour the flowers are going to be by the colour of the corms.
