Growing Jerusalem Artichokes, also Sunchoke

05 Jul 12 sharon (Australia - tropical climate)
I've just harvested 4 kg from 3 small plants I brought home from my folks in SEQld at xmas. Couldn't leave them in the ground as they were beginning to soften - would have led to rot int he coming wet season . Well drained soil but too wet and warm here to winter them in ground. Now I am looking for alternative storage methods. Does anyone know if you can parboil and freeze them?

I would try storing undamaged tubers in dry sand, and store in a cool place.
