The exception: the sunchokes have rocketed up to 3 meters high, heavy with blossoms.
The local pollinators are pigging out on these flowers right now.

Sunchokes? If they are related to artichokes you may eat the roots, but prepare them right or you will regret it the day after.
.
BTW the yellow trees in Umeå are beautiful in sunlight right now, if you dress for the chilly weather before the walk. In the north Swedish mountains the first snow fell six days ago.
They are sometimes called Jerusalem Artichokes.
Which is highly misleading.
They aren’t from Jerusalem and they have nothing to do with artichokes.
They are related to sunflowers, native to North America, and were domesticated by the Native Americans. The root tuber is edible and sometimes sold commercially.
Raven@3. ‘Jerusalem’ is a corruption of ‘Girasole’.
