Food: Crosnes de Japon

Back in April last year I posted about the new things we were trying in the garden - purple podded peas, asparagus peas and crosnes de Japon or Chinese artichokes. The purple podded peas looked beautiful but the pods were tough even when tiny and the mature peas inside were fat and mealy. Horrible. As there is a lot of seed left in the packet, the rest can share some space with the sweet peas this year.
