Just Received Some Jerusalem Artichokes. How Can I Care For Them Before I Can Plant Outside?

Question

I am in zone 5. Won’t be able to plant outside until early April since ground will be frozen before that.

Answer 1

You can keep the tubers in peat moss or potting soil in a box in a cold, dark place such as a garage or basement till planting time. Keep them from freezing. Here is how to grow them:
