Jerusalem Artichoke and Moonlight
Planting artichoke tubers is very much like planting potatoes, and is done from cut pieces each having a seed or "eye." Unlike potatoes, this frostproof vegetable can be set out in the fall as well as early spring. A good location may be along the garden edge where the six-to eight-foot-tall artichokes won't overshadow other plants. They are also useful where their screening effect and large, colorful blooms will improve the landscape. (Some grow to heights of a modest 12 feet or so!)
In two rows, plant one medium piece per hill, a foot apart, in two- or three-foot rows. In beds, set tubers four by four feet apart. As indicated, plants multiply quickly and soon choke out any venturesome weeds. Mulching is a good idea in row plantings, and compost applications maintain desirable fertility-although soil and climate extremes won't stop this persistent plant.
Harvesting
The sturdy artichoke's bright blossoms, upper stalk and leaf growth don't go to waste, either. Where they're not used for livestock or poultry feeding, the tops can be cut and fed to the compost or mulch-material piles.
Since freezing doesn't injure the tubers, they may be left in the ground indefinitely after fall frosts, a fresh supply being dug as needed throughout the off-season. In fact, leaving them in the ground is a practical storage method for this vegetable whose tender skin doesn't make it a particularly good indoor keeper. Those that are brought in should be kept quite moist -if necessary given a daily soaking in water prior to use. It is best to dig up only the amount you plan to use immediately.
With the arrival of spring, tubers left in the ground should be dug either for eating or replanting. If an increased supply is wanted, some may simply be left to multiply.
Native to the Americas, Jerusalem artichoke is cultivated for its fleshy tubers which are fine, nutritious and low-starch substitutes for potatoes.
A 25-foot row will supply the average family for one year.
Nutritional Value
The artichoke is 100 percent starchless. It stores its carbohydrates in the form of inulin rather than starch, and its sugar as levulose the way most healthful fruits and honey do. It has practically no caloric value. Because of these facts, medical authorities strongly recommend it as a substitute for other carbohydrates on the diabetic's menu, and in the diet of all who should or must restrict their starch and caloric intake.

How can you tell when Flax Seeds expire?
Sigh.....so I accidentally left the flax seeds out on the counter over night. They've been out for about 3 nights because I was at a friends house. I didn't notice until I went to go use them, when I saw they were still on the counter. Nooo! They're supposed to be refrigerated. Should I just throw them away, or are they still good? They kinda smell....but I don't know if it's bad or not. To me, they kind of smell like artichoke hearts. :/
Also, this happened when I FIRST bought them too. I didn't realize they had to be refrigerated until 2 weeks after opening them. Ever since then, I've kept them in the freezer. But having done it a second time, do you think I should just toss them?
but-but....they're expensive!!! Sigh...haha...yeah, I think I might end up doing that. Lol.
If the flax seeds are whole, they're fine stored out of the fridge until you grind them up. If they're ground, they must be refrigerated, especially after they're opened. There is usually an expiration date on the bag. When they start to spoil, you can start to smell an odor similar to paint thinner. You know because they just don't smell or taste right. They're not good for you after they've spoiled. If they don't taste right or smell skunky, throw them out.
If you have a habit of doing that, get yourself one of those little coffee grinders, and buy the flax seed whole, and store it in a dark place, tightly sealed, It should keep for a few months. Grind as needed.
