As you say, the picture isn't very good. My guess is either horseradish or jerusalem artichokes.Comment

Jerusalem artichokes?
A type of beetroot?
Is there any leaf growth starting??"Nicos, Queen of Gooooogle" and... GYO's own Miss Marple

If they are scattered clusters of them about the lottie, I'd be tempted to replant them all together...someone clearly loved them...and you may too!

Thanks both! Yes, i think the best course of action is to plug 'em back in and see what shoots up! I'm kinda hoping they're artichokes...

Looks like Jerusalem artichoke to me. Is that a yellow flower coming out on the top of the big one? JA has a yellow flower... (Horseradish has a white flower)
Jerusalem artichoke is a great vegetable to grow. It will grow pretty much anywhere.Pain is still pain, suffering is still suffering, regardless of whoever, or whatever, is the victim.
Everything is worthy of kindness.

simples ...
clean one under the tap.
scrape some off ...if its tough and woody it wont be a j.a ... taste it ...if its horseradish you will know straight away. If they are j.a's throw 90% and keep the last 10% severely curtailed. If its horseradish give 90% away and keep the last 10% severaly curtailed......Comment

A friend has suggested it's wild parsnip and thus poisonous! But will scrub one up in a mo once my critters have stopped giving their Dad the runaround!

Think they're ja'sNever test the depth of the water with both feet
The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory....
Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.

That could be a yacon tuber although they don't look like them in the picture in the opening post.Comment

I'd definitely go for JA's, right down to the slight pink/red stain on damaged areas. Plant a few and see what comes up.Location ... NottinghamComment
