On the web-site---http://www.towards-sustainability.com/--Julie (in Australia) has a post about growing Arrowroot, a type of Canna. The tubers are eaten and are said to be similar to potatoes. For those that are interested in growing food that will keep in the soil (food storage), and multiplies well, Arrowroot might be the answer.
The Jerusale
m Artichoke (sunflower family) is another such plant. Both plants are easy to grow here in the valley. This is a picture of my Jerusalem Artichoke. My husband, Dave, has tried a couple of times over the years to pull it out, but it will re-grow from pieces that are left in the ground. It could be eradicated by sifting through the soil and tossing out the remnant pieces found. I started this with one piece that I bought from the market.
