Looks like a potato and tastes a bit like a cross between a water chestnut and a pear! Originally from South America, and distantly related to sunflowers, the yacon is a perennial plant producing huge, fuzzy green leaves and attractive yellow flowers. It grows a bit like a Jerusalem artichoke, producing a good crop of very sweet, crunchy, but also nicely juicy tubers. Try them raw in salads or instead of water chestnuts in stir-fries. What's more the yacon's sweetness comes from inulin which is an indigestible sugar, so despite the sweetness it has almost no calories! And the leaves can be used in cooking as wraps, like you would vine leaves. Pale-skinned varieties are available, but we've selected this purple-skinned one, which has improved cold tolerance. Well worth a try!

Every garden needs pollinators, including bees, butterflies, moths, hoverflies and many others. Without them there would be limited flowers and even fewer fruit and vegetables, so youre doing them a real favour growing a selection of plants that will provide them with a good source of nectar and pollen. Both honey bees and bumble bees are active from February until September/October, and its important that they have suitable plants in flower throughout that period.
