How do I harvest these? Mine throw out stems, leaves and beautiful sunflower like flower. I had to saw down one area as it was too close to the house, replanted some in better areas. Mind you these grow to over 10 feet!

harvest them with a pitchfork, try to get every tuber and all of the roots. They will probably grow back anyway. I haven't been able to get rid of them.
Not sure what sunchokes are. Do you eat them? Any drawbacks to planting them?
They are also called Jerusalum Artichokes, cause the root tastes like an artichoke. By the way, I worried and worried all winter if my Thai ginger was going to sprout. Well, they have sprouted in full glory! Can't wait to taste this tuber!
