(Helianthus tuberosus)
Native sunflower species with large nutritious tubers. Very easy to grow (hard to get rid of!) and productive. High in inulin, making them an excellent choice for diabetics. Raw, they are crunchy and juicy with a faint sunflower-seed flavor. Cooked they are like a watery potato. A friend once pickled them and they were fabulous! Can be harvested all winter so long as you can dig a hole. Herbaceous perennial–dies to the ground each winter but gets going fast and furious in late spring. Tall, rough stems can get 8′ tall or more with clusters of small yellow sunflower-like blossoms in the fall. Makes plenty of biomass–might be good for hay, bedding, or mulch. Will self-seed readily–beware as they have a notorious reputation for being hard to get rid of. We recommend planting them in an out-of-the-way place you can mow around or you don’t mind them spreading in. Pigs will root them up to eat the tubers in the fall.
From Oikos Tree Crops in Michigan, this sweet-potato-shaped variety has a stunning red/purple skin and lacks the lumpy side nodules that make most varieties hard to clean. Not quite as productive as ‘Supernova’ but still plenty to eat each year. . North American native plant.

(Fragaria virginiana)
This is a delightful, shade-tolerant, extra low-growing strawberry that readily fills the role of quick-growing groundcover in landscape beds. It will weave around and through taller elements in your beds and cover the soil to prevent weeds from coming up. Less susceptible to “overcrowding” die-out that commercial strawberries have after 5 or 6 years. Pretty white flowers cover the mat of leaves in the spring, and are followed by delicious little red berries with a unique “waffled” texture. Not as small as you might think, about the size of a nickel. Self-fertile. . North American native plant.
