I suppose most seed tubers for these (and potatoes) don't become available until the early part of next year. All places I checked were sold out for 2013.
I think these tubers might be successful in my yard. I'll keep checking for starters.

I wanted to try it too, and ordered some from Johnny's about 8 years ago. The dab
nabbit squirrels dug them up and ate them. Now I think they are too expensive. I'm referring to the Jerusalem Artichoke.
Another veggie I wanted to try is tree collards, but you can only get them from
cuttings, so it's harder to get. Not sure if they would survive in my zone.
