URBAN FARM: Winter roots and roses

A portion of the homestead sunchoke haul. Dug half now, and then replaced them with a four year old 15 ft rosebush, Madame Pierre Oger, along the front iron fence where she can sprawl gracefully with a bit of support. She’d outgrown her previous spot and now has room to grow. Looks like she’s been there all along. Still have another bed of ‘chokes to dig in the spring. Always nice to have something to look forward to in the garden after a long winter, like, another bucket of sweet and nutty sunchokes?
