{"product_id":"jerusalem-artichoke-fuseau-tubers","title":"Jerusalem Artichoke Fuseau Tubers","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally from North America, \u003cstrong\u003eJerusalem Fuseau Artichokes\u003c\/strong\u003e have the same wonderful smoke taste and texture as the common Artichoke but the tubers are larger and have a smoother surface, making them much easier to prepare. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs much at home in the flower border as they are in the vegetable garden, these much under-rated vegetables have edible tubers that have a potato-like texture and are delicious. They are versatile in the kitchen and can be mashed, roasted or fried, and can even be made into gratin or soup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArtichokes require a light soil which as been thoroughly dug over with a fork, removing any weeds. Adding well-rotted compost, manure or a good general fertiliser will improve yields. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in an area that receives plenty of light. Mark out a row with a string line or cane and plant the tubers along the row 15cm\/6\" deep and 60cm\/24\" apart. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater after planting and keep the soil moist during the growing season. Remove any weeds between the plants to keep them from competing for food and water. If the tubers become exposed, draw earth up the sides of the plant to exclude light. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarvest the tubers approximately 4 to 6 weeks after flowering. Dig up only as required because the crop will store well in the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArtichokes make an excellent windbreak as they grow to approximately 200cm\/80\", so plant at the side of the plot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePack size: 2 tubers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen to plant: March, April\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen to harvest: October, November, December, January, February\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlanting depth: 15cm\/6\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpacing: 60cm\/24\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoil type: Moist but well-drained\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoil pH: Acid, Alkaline, Neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSunlight: Full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardiness: Fully hardy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Taylors Bulbs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58350448116037,"sku":"1013647","price":3.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/7458\/1061\/files\/9d8438a7-jerusalem-fuseau-artichoke.webp?v=1782227603","url":"https:\/\/www.gatesgardencentre.co.uk\/products\/jerusalem-artichoke-fuseau-tubers","provider":"Gates Garden Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
