Growing Information:
CULTURE: As soon as possible after seed pieces are received, cut or break to one or two eyes per piece. Plant pieces 4" deep and 12-18" apart. Do not allow cut seed pieces to dry out before planting. Almost any garden soil will do, even wettish or droughty soils. Choose a permanent location as J.A.s are difficult to eliminate once established. HARVEST: Dig tubers in August to late fall as needed. NOTE: Directly after harvest, the carbohydrates are in the form of inulin and are good for dieters and diabetics. The inulin changes gradually in storage to other starches and should then be regarded more like a potato by diabetics. STORAGE: Can be frozen or kept refrigerated in plastic bags. Can be stored un-dug in the garden, or in the root cellar as long as tubers are kept moist to prevent shriveling. The next crop can be planted from harvested tubers or you can leave some in the ground to grow again. About a dozen seed pieces per pound. Plant tuber pieces upon receipt, or store in vegetable crisper in refrigerator until spring. NOTE: We record orders and ship in mid to late October. We cannot spring ship.
