The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.

Jerusalem Artichokes

The Jerusalem Artichokes (a.k.a. Sunchokes) reach skyward. Related to sunflowers, mine get about ten feet tall. The underground tubers are edible year round, but sweetest in the cold months. The leaves are high protein forage for our goats.
